It is only Friday, but the first qualifying session of the season is already over. At the Bahrain International Circuit, Max Verstappen continued where he left off last season: beating Sergio Perez. Our countryman thus takes a lead in the mutual qualifying duels, as do nine other drivers.
Verstappen was three-tenths quicker than his teammate and is thus immediately back in the lead. At Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton went down against George Russell, as did Carlos Sainz - despite a strong FP3 - against Charles Leclerc.
Otherwise, there are few surprises, although it is still worth mentioning that Daniel Ricciardo lost to Yuki Tsunoda in his first qualifying session of 2024.
