Bahrain Grand Prix 2012, Sakhir - Race 4/20

I think McLaren can consider themselves incredibly lucky that going into the European races they are only a few points behind in the constructors championship and both drivers are still in the fight for the WDC, because they seem to be doing everything possible to throw it away!

Yep, in a season that is so close, they are really doing their best to throw it away.

Why oh why is kimi not sponsored by Ben&jerrys or another brand.

 

[Cavallino]

Any word on the pending investigations?

Won't hear about that for an hour or so at the least.

Hamilton has received a 29 place grid penalty for the next race and must also run in a Mini Cooper. Harsh but it is how it is.

That's being let off lightly tbh

Still beats HRT

Lol

Haha for a guy who's been out of F1 for a while and comes 2nd in his 4th race back in an unremarkable team, he hasn't said a single positive thing so far (oops one thing right at the end)

Bet Grosjean is beaming about things

Edit: Hahaha

It is well known that he has no emotions and that makes him such a good driver. Hamilton for example is a brilliant driver but lets his emotions get in the way and makes mistakes because of that, Kimi don't give no ***** about anything and is therefore able to deal with difficult situations.

I kinda feel sorry for the pit guy who messed up at Mclaren, there was an initial problem and that probably wrecked his confidence leading to more problems..

McLaren were truely awful. To have the same problem in the pitstops as the last race is just unacceptable.

McLaren have just posted a job opening for a left-rear tire changer. #F1 #Formula1

Well you can hardly blame Hamilton, who has been excellent so far this season, and apart from JB's little slip in Malaysia he's been great as well.

All of their problems have come down to mechanical issues/strategy/pit stops.

The reason Vettel cruised it last season was *everything* was consistent – McLaren could learn a thing or two!

Like I said, they should consider themselves lucky that despite all of their problems they are still in a strong position going into the home races.

He could beat HRT on a scooter!

Hamilton would be 5th if you remove the 12 seconds for those pit errors. Damnit.

 

[Varsh]

Didn't they say it was 17 seconds he lost in the pits?

 

[Irish_Tom]

It's not quite as simple as that though. If the first hadn't gone wrong he would have come out 3rd where he went in to the pits etc etc etc.

12 seconds? More like 17!
