Bahrain GP Chat and Predictions

Gone

 

Was just gonna say the same.

 

Ah well. Was exciting for a while.

 

Those softs lasted a hell of along time.

 

Lewis only 5 sec behind!! Merc calcs/communications an issue I think.
Gasly gets 4th

 

Minor drama. Verstappen v hamilton the main action.

 

Bottas wasted that chance. Just not on the same level as Vettel or Hamilton.

 

That was a fukin good drive!

 

Can’t help feeling Bottas did not do enough.

 

The difference in driving quality won the race for Ferrari there. Great from Vettel, Bottas toothless.

 

Toro Rosso beat McLaren-Honda's best finish in only two races...

 

Yup. Really good drive from Vettel there. Faultless really.

 

Ferrari mechanic leg must be shattered.

Seems very unsafe release system as tyre never came off at all.

 

Good race. I get the feeling that Merc coms and calcs are still not good. If Bottas was getting similar info to Lewis then Merc let them both down.

Finally we have a race that had different tyre strats that actually made racing good.

 

Wish that had been a Vettel/Hamilton battle at the end there.

 

I wonder if the difference is McL were telling Honda how they wanted things and TR were happy to get what they were given and work with it?

 

Have to give it to vettel. Drove it without error on a time... yawn.

Bottas didn't cut through traffic fast enough and should have ate vettel alive. He should have got him with 2 laps to go but only got there at end of penultimate lap peeped out and then hid.

Disappointing.

 

I don't think so.

I think Honda had an awful engine last year. Vibrated itself to death.

 

It does sound so much better this year but then again it was coupled to a McL gearbox. What gearbox are tr using?

 

Hamilton calling Max a d***head did make me chortle.
