Poll: Official 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix Thread - International Circuit, Sakhir - Race 4/24

Absolutely ridiculous they didn't cut to the winner crossing the line. Oscar had a great weekend.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Great race.
Verstappen did well to minimise points lost given all the issues.

 

[Mesai]

I think they can? It's only a problem for Russell and the cars racing Russell.

I guess if it's only related to his transponder, but then that's FIA equipment, unless Merc broke something. The whole timing system seems dead.

Awful race directing today.

 

[Flibster]

Driver of the day?

Could be Gasly or either of the Haas cars for me. Bearman up 10 places is superb.

 

[Stu999]

Verstappen got Gasly for 6th.

Edit - or did he?

 

[mattx4]

FIA Stewards - 10 second time penalty for Lawson - Causing a collision

At least he is consistent, last in RB last in Racing Bulls

 

[Mr Jack]

Super race. Hoping Russell doesn't get a penalty, that result was hard earned. Well done, Oscar.

 

[Mesai]

Norris had zero race craft this race - should've taken George in the 2nd DRS zone.

 

[el_dazza]

Personally think it was a pretty average race, only livened up by the SC bunching everyone up again. Would've been dreadful without that.

 

[Trusty]

Bearman probably driver of the day for me. 19yo from last on the grid, that is up there

Apparently Hamilton? lol!

 

[Kenai]

I guess if it's only related to his transponder, but then that's FIA equipment, unless Merc broke something. The whole timing system seems out of dead.

I think they just turned off the feed to TV because of Russell, rather than the entire system being broken

 

[Psycho Ned]

This is going to be the season we really see what Norris is made of, last year was just a free hit and there was no pressure (even then he **** the bed enough times) this season his car is the dominant one and his team mate is going to slowly beat him down with his quality.

I didn't think he had a champions mentality last season and I think even less he does this. The more the screws turn the more I expect him to lose the plot.

 

[edGfaCTor]

LH driver of the day strange choice and clearly lots of fanboys voting.

FIA a mess again today the Russell thing should be decided before the end plenty of laps was left.

 

[Flibster]

I'd love to see Piastri win the championship this year.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I'd love to see Piastri win the championship this year.

That would be funny. People go on about max vs lando part 2 and piastri just wanders off into the distance with races like this. Lol

 

[.:MBK:.]

thats a lot of pyro

 

[Tejstar]

Agreed about poor race direction today, so many key comments were missed, or only caught the end of.

Decent result from Norris given his position, but I'm sure he'll be disappointed he didn't get 2nd.
