Not fantastic, but hard to tell. We'll get a clearer pictures in P3 I expect. Going to be another tough one to call on the predictions game. P1 & 2 times in OP now.

It was never illegal, so expect they were always running it.
Generally an entertaining race, which was rather unexpected for Bahrain. The DRS zone is a little too long but being the first time used here, that should be sorted for next year. They get some good slipstreaming from the back straight already.
Really wanted Kimi to win, even if I hate the team he drivers for. Both of them did well. Vettel winning keeps the championship close, just a shame that the Mclarens and Mercs didn't score highly at all, so he has pulled ahead clear.
Rosberg driving like a berk. Not sure why they couldn't just give him a drive through and get it over with.
David Croft made a lot of mistakes during the race, which was annoying and not like him really?

No-one is trying to belittle him. You do realise we're only 4 races in and have had 4 different people leading the WDC?
If you have a tyre that lasts the whole race, it has to last way way past a race distance, so it doesn't degrade in speed at all.. otherwise it will be just the same as having tyres going off during a stint and be no different.
Or give them a minimum amount of fuel to use.. will never happen though as it wouldn't be a "green" thing to do
I think the teams just need time to get the best out of the tyres. They got the Pirellis working much better in the latter parts of last season, so much so Pirelli had to 'move' the tyres down a grade to put it back to where it was before. The same will happen this year as well.
