The laps that underpinned Verstappens crushing Bahrain GP victory

“We're expecting probably a half-second deficit [per lap],” George Russell mused, moments after putting his Mercedes third on the Bahrain Grand Prix grid. Asked to estimate the advantage Red Bull would have in the race, Russell reckoned that it would be slightly larger than the 0.3s difference seen on the timing boards between he and Verstappen on Friday night.

Max Verstappen looked slightly surprised by Russell’s assertion. “Half a second?!” he exclaimed with feigned indignance. “I think that's way too big. But if you say that now, then if it's better tomorrow, then you can say, ‘Oh, it's unbelievable, the car is unbelievable’.”
