Alonso Tips Up and Wins in Bahrain, Race One

I will be curious to see, I guess, just how close Ferrari can get to Red Bull in these kinds of tracks. Like you said, this is not a Red Bull circuit. This is not one that we would expect them to fully dominate. But if they can come out and still maintain both kind of that single lap advantage and their full long run advantage, that will be very, very telling. And also how they do without Landstroll, because it seems like you were with that wrist injury. Why wasn't he even physically at testing? If you've just hurt your wrist a bit, you'd still be there, wouldn't you, with your cast on and checking out all

Speaker 2
Yes, yes, they have. But yeah, that'll be interesting. We'll have four rookies on the grid, I guess, this time around if Lance is gone. So that would be kind of fun. I was a bit disappointed that Sebastian Vettel wasn't going to come back and be the fill-in. That would have been lovely, but
Speaker 1
he's up. Leave him alone. He made a decision. He's up enjoying his retirement. Exactly. He's on his farm. Yeah. So there you go. Alonso tips up and wins in Bahrain, race one. You told producer Erika about the plan to just quietly delete this episode. Yeah. Yeah, we've got that kind of
