5 Early Predictions for the Bahrain Grand Prix

#5 - McLaren to get their First Points of 2019

Norris had an impressive F1 debut in Australia.

McLaren are one of just two teams that are pointless so far in 2019, but unlike Williams, they have a realistic chance of changing that at the next attempt. Lando Norris had a superb debut in Australia but finished outside the points thanks to getting held up behind Antonio Giovanazzi's Alfa.

Carlos Sainz could've also conceivably finished in the top ten, but an engine failure put paid to that after just nine laps. If McLaren finish the race in Bahrain, they have a real chance. Although the Renault engine doesn't appear to be the most powerful again this year, still being behind Mercedes and Ferrari and possibly losing out to Honda. I'm sure that wouldn't go down well in Woking if it were true.
