The Australian pilot of McLaren, Oscar Piastriit was imposed on the classification of Bahrain Grand Prix of Formula 1 and will start in the first position in the race that will be played this Sunday.
Piastri registered a time of 1: 29,841 and took 168 thousandths to his escort, the British George Russellof Mercedeswhich was finally sanctioned for an error of his team and will start third.
Thus, who stayed with the second position was the Monegasco of Ferrari, Charles Leclercwho overcame the Italian Kimi Antonelli (also relegated a place for the lack of Mercedes), who with only 18 years already showed that he reached Formula 1 to fight.
The great surprise of the classification was the French of Alpine, Pierre Gaslywhich had an excellent participation and will start fourth, with many chances of adding points in the race. The Australian also improved in his performance Jack Doohanthe other pilot of the Gala Escudería, who classified 11 and was a few thousandth of getting into the Q3.
Regarding the leaders of the championship, the British Lando Norris (McLaren) and the Dutch Max Verstappen (Red Bull), will start sixth and seventh respectively. Both must round a very good performance in the race, since they could be surpassed in the position table by Piastri and Russell.
The Top 10 of the classification was completed by the Spanish Carlos Sainz (Williams), the British Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) and the Japanese Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull).
McLaren, which is the team to win this season, has been having a great weekend, since its pilots were imposed on the three training and Piastri batches achieved the first position in La Qualy. However, they should not be trusted since Russell was very competitive and will not be made at all easy to the Australian.
Due to a sanction imposed by the commissioners both Russell and Antonelli, after going out to Pit Lane before the resumption after the red flag caused by a clash of the French Esteban Ocon, of Haas.
In this way, the Mercedes British who was going to leave behind Piastri, will occupy third place on the grill. On the Italian side, Sunday’s race will begin from the fifth position, behind Gasly.
