#2 Double Red Bull Trouble

What looked to be a promising weekend for Red Bull in Bahrain, was cut short, after both cars saw the end of their race within the very first few opening laps.

First came Daniel Ricciardo, who was the victim of an unfortunate electrical failure, leaving the car completely defunct. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen ran his left rear tire into Hamilton's front wing, tearing it off the wheel completely.

Although Verstappen managed to limp back to the pits, he was subsequently taken out of the race due to losing drive. This can't be good for Red Bull, as they lost out on a large batch of points, allowing McLaren to inherit 3rd in the Championship for now. They also don't do themselves any good trying to retain Ricciardo for 2019.
