Ferrari will not be able to close the gap to Red Bull quickly enough to mount a serious title challenge this season, in the opinion of Ralf Schumacher.
Red Bull began the new Formula 1 campaign almost perfectly, taking first and second place while barely having to break a sweat. The only point dropped was the one for the fastest lap of the race, which went to nobody as Zhou Guanyu set the fastest time but finished outside the top 10.
The nearest car to the Red Bulls when Max Verstappen took the chequered flag was Fernando Alonso, 38 seconds down the road in third place. Charles Leclerc might have finished closed but we'll never know as he suffered an engine failure, while Carlos Sainz was 48 seconds off Verstappen at the end.
