Grand Prix thread 2021 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix

Mixed strategies, oh how I've missed you.

 

Remember max changed a switch position to tell team how tyres were! Could be a good strat?

 

Could checo actually get past max on pit stop? Obviously they would swap

 

Well this has my interest

 

Or could be on dead tyres and dropping like a stone by the end.

 

Max definitely needs to stop again, only used mediums so far. I assume the Mercedes are both 2 stopping as well.

 

And Vettel on the 1 stop.

 

Here comes Verstappen.

 

I know it's only first race but it looks like the cars are actually able to follow and challenge to cars in front!
We might have a great season comming.

 

DRS is so powerful here though impossible to defend from that

 

I'm lost at that short run on the hards.

 

Did they just change their minds? Decide the strategy wasn’t going to work?

 

New year, same old luck for Bottas.

 

Hardly a shock is it lol

 

I dunno, but make em last and go for something quicker at the end surely.

 

Mercedes struggling for an answer and eating black doughnuts nom nom nom

 

Oh, I agree but I wonder if their computer prediction saw them getting caught by Verstappen long before the window for softs.

 

Hamilton getting warning for corner cutting only took 38 laps lol

 

I wonder if red bulls instructions to max to run wide on turn 4 had anything to do with it?

 

Pit now and burn the fresh rubber in to the ground. The race is already lost for Merc, so just go for it.

 

I can see Max getting past before lap 46 at this rate
