Formula One witnessed an amazing and a rather refreshing battle for pole between Red Bull Racing and Ferrari only for the latter to finish ahead, late on Saturday at the Bahrain GP.

There was the cheerful Ferrari crew alongside Max Verstappen, who went on to take a dig at Mercedes’ awry run of form. All in all, a rather interesting few minutes of the post-qualifying interview. However, the attention then turned towards the first F2 sprint race of the season.
And, during the short-burst race, something bizarre was caught on live TV featuring one of the marshals. While looking to clear out debris off the track, the unknown marshal’s pants came off. However, the timing, unfortunately, ended up being too perfect as the cameraman had just turned the camera towards this particular Marshal from the back.
Hence, almost everyone watching the Formula 2 race caught a glimpse of this scene and the fan reactions have been absolutely hysterical. Twitter, now, has this unknown man trending all around, with a few having a laugh about it. But, of course, most of the fans have nothing but empathy for the marshal.

I probably shouldn't be laughing as I'm a registered marshal, but... 😂😂 #BahrainGP #F2
full moon in bahrain courtesy of that marshal! 😂 #F2 #BahrainGP 🇧🇭
that poor marshal is going to be mortified 😂 #F2
That poor marshal 😅 his ass was just broadcast live on #SkyF1 😂💀 #F2 #BahrainGP
We nearly had a wardrobe malfunction from a marshal. Yes, really. #F2
I’m sorry, but that moment with the marshal there was pretty funny 😂 #F2
A lit-up Bahrain GP on cards?
A breathtaking qualifying laid the foundation to what could be one of the most unpredictable races of this decade. Ferrari are seeking their first race win since 2019 but will have the big hurdle of Max Verstappen to overcome.
Just below the two leading constructors, Lewis Hamilton will be sniffing a podium finish after a rather disappointing show on Saturday. His teammate, though, looks unlikely to fight for the top 3 at the moment, considering the young Briton will be locked up behind several mid-field cars including a Haas and an Alpine.

Overall, unlike last year, there aren’t just two drivers challenging for the race win but several others. The race could witness anyone from Verstappen, Sainz, Leclerc, Perez, and Hamilton taking over the top step at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
So, who is it going to be? Well, we’ll know soon enough!
