Racingin in the midst of PORPOPIISING problems (the car's body rises and drops at high speed due to land effects) previously expected to interfere in Bahrain Grand Prix, Ferrari F1-75 does not seem to have a significant problem.

Lewis Hamilton who was in P5 really looked difficult at Mercedes F1 W13. "The car is still very bouncing," he said on the radio team. On television shows, Porpoising on Mercedes's chassis even made a helmet from world champion seven times looking up and down due to the surprise of the Mercedes car.

An incident minor also occurred when Sergio Perez Red Bull Racing RB18 turned off the track. Enter the middle of a 60-minute session, most drivers change their tires with soft C3. Fernando Alonso's Flagship Alpine A522 was at the top before Leclerc won it again.

Ferrari proves that they deserve to watch after Sainz is in P3 before being shifted by Bottas. Bottas, which also fell with a power unit (PU) from Ferrari 066/7, seems to be able to speed up after FP1 has a problem with an anti-lag system in Turbo.

Surprising performance was also shown by Haas Driver, Mick Schumacher and Magnussen, who were in P6 and P7. Like Alfa Romeo, Haas also uses PU Ferrari 066/7.

About 27 minutes before the FP2 ended, Verstappen shot to P1 with 1 minute 31.936 seconds or 0.327 seconds in front of Leclerc. Like Leclerc, Verstappen also wore a c3 soft tire at that time. Not long ago, Mercedes W13 George Russell shot to P3 and forced Alonso to P4. Russell drove almost 0.6 seconds.

Meanwhile, Hamilton still slumped in P8 with a slit of about 1.2 seconds from Verstappen. It wasn't long before Hamilton Radio Team about the problem: "There is a problem with the front brake."

At the last minute, Lewis Hamilton exchanged his tires for moderate C2, and became the third set of tires used throughout FP2. A number of racers are also expected to do racing simulations with thin fuel.

At the same time, Daniel Ricciardo had to end FP2 faster due to technical problems, after his superior McLaren MCL36 suffered a water leak.

Max Verstappen finally managed to maintain the top position until the FP2 was finished while making sure he was the fastest driver throughout the first day of the Bahrain 2022 GP. (SBN)
