Oscar Piastri became the first repeat winner (and, er, fourth pole-to-flag victor in a row in what was billed as the closest, most unpredictable F1 season in yonks), by dominating the Bahrain Grand Prix, closing to within three points of Lando Norris. Ergo, the Aussie is now the early favorite for the 2025 title. Yup, this is the ridiculously early conclusion we’ve reached based on four whole races of evidence.

Get Lost... No, not like that. Get Lost is the name of the all-new design and engineering brand responsible for this, a Lotus Elise S1 reimagined for road trip schenanigans and off-road funsies. Heritage be damned, we want it. It’s called Project Safari, and much has been done. Running all-terrain tires, a new, bespoke suspension system raises the ride height by 100mm, with the aim of ‘refining the body control’ and inspiring confidence. Not things the original was lacking, exactly.

Williams driver Carlos Sainz looks set to be fined for the second week running after dropping an (undeniably amusing) expletive in an FIA press conference in the build-up to Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Last weekend, the Spaniard was fined €10,000 (P647,440) for missing the start of the pre-race national anthem in Japan, having had a stomach bug that caused an unplanned pit stop… in the toilet.

Oscar Piastri summed it up perfectly after the highlights reel in the cool-down room ended painfully quickly. “That’s all the highlights?” asked the puzzled Aussie. “For a race that felt like it was pretty flat out, nothing happened.” He wasn’t wrong. There was only one overtake in the top 10—Lewis Hamilton’s early move on RB’s Isack Hadjar—and outside the points, the most places anyone gained was four, with Jack Doohan lifting his hastily repaired Alpine from 19th on the grid to P15 at the flag.
