At the time of this writing, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have taken a sensational one/two finish in Bahrain, opening the 2022 Formula One season, as the team’s social media post exclaimed, “...in the best way possible.” Beyond question.
Lawrence Edmondson, writing for ESPN said, “The sense of relief almost matched the flood of emotion as the opening bars of the Italian national anthem rang out over the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday night. After forty-five races without a single victory, Ferrari finally reclaimed the top two steps of Formula One’s podium, and with it re-established itself as a championship contender for the first time in over three years.”
