Worth Watching Score

4.5

The 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix is a mixed bag: Red Bull crushes it with a comfortable 1-2, so there’s little suspense up front, but the action behind is lively. With 237 overtakes driven by high tire degradation and DRS, the midfield serves up constant moves, highlighted by Fernando Alonso’s feisty charge and clean, decisive passes on big names. Three DNFs—including a key Ferrari retirement—shuffle the deck and help deliver Alonso to a popular P3. Watch it for Alonso’s resurgence and the steady stream of on-track battles, not for a nail-biter at the front.
