Grand Prix thread 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix Chat and Predictions

They have Jock Clear now , hopefully he will be a calming influence .

 

hopefully. I am not thinking that these tyres really allow a team to run longer and get past.

I still think clear ground and undercut might be the way to go.

 

Vandoorne's car is a crime scene, apparently the car is 'alive'



Chadhok made a good point, although he's never won here, Kimi tends to do well. A dark prancing horse for the race?

 

Bottas T-wing gone again, second time.

 

So far so not ideal

 

Ferrari have had two car shut-downs now, one in Australia and one here.

 

Still slower than last year

 

Good to see GP2 hasn't changed much...

 

PU usage starting to add up for some.

 

Alonsos engine still looking rosey

 

Quali Predictions?
1. Hamilton.
2. Raikkonen.
3 Bottas.

 

Ferrari lock out. I just think they're looking that good this weekend. The only thing that can stop them is reliability.

 

Well, I think a merc front-row lock-out is on the cards, Hamilton didn't get a decent run, Bottas was a bit scrappy and they didn't put the engine into Quali mode yet.
Not sure about the race though, could be anyone from Merc, Ferrari or RBR

 

I dunno...... I think hamilton 1 vettel 2.

I have never rated bottas honesty.

 

ferrari hardly left the garage in practice 3 so far

 

Bottas had a very bright future IMHO , but got bogged down at Williams ( though they are my team ) . I don't think he's doing badly to be honest , and I think he will do very well .

 

Massa and Hulk in for a good weekend.

 

and a bad one for their team-mates, so far off the pace.
And Hamilton has been scrappy all weekend so far.
RBR looking good.

 

Max fastest out of the blue. Interesting.

 

yeah, but we'll see if they keep their pace when the temps drop.
