Grand Prix thread GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2022

The Ferrari is without doubt the most beautiful car on the grid.

 

What happened to Bottas?

 

So new season, same old Bottas. From a great starting position he managed to go backwards to14!

 

DRS only gained Hamilton .2 on the straight to the Ferrari.

 

Medium tyres are utterly horrid, wow.

McLaren trundling around like Minardi with those big bulky bastards on!!

We have to go softer on the tyres wherever we can or else this could be ugly

 

The Alfas are quite pretty too, no sly Marlboro advertising there.

 

So far it looks like they can follow close and overtake

 

Did they pull Hamilton's tyres out of the freezer?

 

Wow that's a chunky mechanic there for Mercedes.

Hard tyres for Hamilton. They trying to go long long long.

Could get eaten alive here.

The new lad zoomed.by. he looks half decent.

 

Oh dear.

No points for Hamilton today then. Bad call there.

 

I think blanket temps are 10 deg c lower than last year!

 

Tremendeous camera angle in the helmet.

Massive under cut there.

Now let's see who can do what!

 

Wow!

 

Fabulous stuff!! Can they follow? Oh yes they can.

 

Verstappen aggressive.

Le clerc sweeps back.

We have a race!!!!!

 

This is incredible

 

ooh yes, that's what we want!!!

 

Red bull burned the battery into turn 1.

Can he stay ahead this time.

No.

Oh yeah... Nice.

 

OK so first race but this season is looking great.

 

Too aggressive that time Max.
