F1 2019: 5 Early Predictions for the Bahrain Grand Prix

#4 Haas Have More Pit-Stop Problems

Will the pit stop curse strike Haas once again at Bahrain?

One of the craziest occurrences of the Australian GP was the reappearance of Haas F1 team's pit stop curse.

At Albert Park in 2018, we saw the Haas team lose out on their most successful finish in Formula One after both Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen were taken out due to problems in the pits.

Just this past race, after Haas hadn't seen any pit stop issues for an entire year, once more we saw the left front tire of Romain Grosjean afflict his car after another issue in the pits.

All Haas can be happy about is the fact that Kevin Magnussen wasn't also taken out due to issues in the pits. And for that exact reason, it feels like Magnussen's car is due to be a victim of the Haas pit stop curse a race later in Bahrain.

The pit stops were kind on the Dane in Australia, but with F1 being a sport of inches and nuts and bolts, the same problems could come to haunt Magnussen in Bahrain.

The Bahrain pit lane wasn't free from issues last year, with Kimi Raikkonen, unfortunately, running over the leg of a mechanic and being taken out of the race.

While we don't see any pit stop issues coming up for Ferrari, or Kimi in Sauber, watch out for Haas who seem to be on the edge right now.
