Bahrain GP Chat and Predictions

had to redo, sorry 'bout that, in a rush I guess and didn't check the right box.

 

So this is the right one? I've locked the other to save confusion

 

yes, ty mate.

 

HAAS have shuffled their pit team to fix the problem for Aus. Thats a lot of blame to put on one guy. Must have been Martin Whitmarsh on the gun

 

The Hass wheel issue seems weird. They claim its the same wheels and nuts as last year but to have 2 failures on different wheels seems unlikely. It seemed like different wheel men so why 2 failures on tried and tested equipment? I wonder if they are using different guns?
Hopefully they will have resolved the issue and we can see if Aus was a fluke or they can actually be near the front this time?

 

really quiet on here..

 

Less than 15mins before practice 1 show on C4 starts!!!

 

hope things go like P1. Looks very mixed at the top

 

listening on 5 live. They have Lord Benson on there. havnt heard him before but you can hear the pain when asked how he felt about Hamilton being half a second behind Ferrari.

 

lol, I was trying to figure out who Lord Benson was, couldn't have been happy with how scrappy Lewis was in P1 either.

 

Gasly seems to have managed to do well in the Honda TR! Seems like he was towards the top of the speed traps!!! Hopefully they have some more speed and reliability can come later.

 

yeah, but can he do it lap after lap, or rather, can the Honda do it lap after lap?

 

Very true but if Honda have actually managed to improve power to achieve good top speed they are well on the way to a decent PU they just need to solve reliability. No good having reliability without power

 

They haven't had either so far, so they'd probably take it

 

Well Hamilton's boned. That kind of throws a wild card into race but i have to back vettel for the win but hope for some fun by the end of the race

 

so, the first reliability penalty goes to Mercedes, who would've guessed that? I think the Mercedes is faster than we've seen in P1&2, if he doesn't get pole, Hamilton is going to struggle to get on the podium, waiting to see what happens in Q, any of Bottas, Ferrari or RBR could have pole here

 

What the heck is Susie wearing!!!!!

 

lol, I just came on to ask the same question, it looks like some kind of napkin origami

 

Oops Max. Not what RB wanted on a day Merc have penalties.
Might help Riccys negotiations?

 

Well... my fantasy F1 is all to cock already...
