Bahrain Grand Prix 2012, Sakhir - Race 4/20

I'll be using all my powers to propel Alonso into a great points finish.
And by that, I mean I'll be shouting wildly at the TV, pretending that it makes a difference.

I can't believe the weather. Rain at Bahrain... WTF!?

What's this funky 3D looking at the car on Sky

I think there only doing half a job with it. The idea is great, but they need to add annotations and arrows showing airflow and things. Its all very well putting up a shiny 3D car, but I can guarantee a large percentage of the viewers don't know what a beam wing or a diffuser is. Just talking about it isn't enough, they need to sort of 'point at' things too.

A downpour just after the racr start would be nice.

Don't expect it to rain that much during the race.

Look, a Force India!

Yeah, Di Resta even made it to Q3, but there seemed to be some sort of media blackout on them meaning they were never shown on any of the quali footage.

Skillmister · 22 Apr 2012 at 12:35

Yeah didn't see them once in the highlights.

Skeeter · 22 Apr 2012 at 12:37

I'm starting to join the haters on this whole graphical grid thing now. Not so much the graphics or the 'look up' shots of the drivers, but simply the amount of time it takes. They need to drop the whole 'The Grid' animation before the top 10 to avoid the awkward pause from Simon. Or just use the graphical view for all 24 drivers.

Awesome.

Won't make slightest bit of difference, it's a few spots and the tracks like a radiator.

That woman talking to Webber had BBC earphones on? Who's she?

Psycho Ned · 22 Apr 2012 at 12:44

Martin didn't fancy butting into Radio 5's interview with Webber there!

Wonder if he's been told not to mix it with the beeb presenters.

Skillmister · 22 Apr 2012 at 12:44

Love the RB bodyguards

Jennie Gow, radio 5 lives pit reporter, used to do the MotoGP at one time.

Haha "We've made it go faster but I'm not going to tell you what we've changed."

~Mike~ · 22 Apr 2012 at 12:47

Martin and the safety car....lol

Given the USP shirt, I suspect she's part of 5 Live's coverage.

Possibly Jennie Gow?
