TREMAYNE: Sainz’s storming drive in Bahrain was the perfect response to news of his impending Ferrari exit
Reasons to be cheerful, Pt 3. Remember that old Ian Dury and The Blockheads song? Well, Max Verstappen and Red Bull pretty much carried on where they left off in Abi Dhabi last year, in winning Bahrain’s opening Grand Prix of 2024.
