Bahrain Grand Prix 2013, Sakhir - Race 4/19

I would rather have ONE real overtake then 10 very fake ones. We all know the DRS is fake and the tires being to soft are fake.

So F1 racing now stands for Fake 1 racing.




edit=since Pirelli and sky have had a hand in Fake 1 viewing figures have gone down ;)

Where do you draw the line though? Was it fake when they had boost push to pass in the past? I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back to the days of processional races.

Sure we had a thread for this as well.
 
Haven't watched any of the practice, only have the timings to go by but I was holding on to the hope that they were on high-fuel or race sims.

Could this be the first sign of Merc slipping in the development race?
 
Nice to see lotus up there again. Can't help but feel impressed by kimi

Gf won't be happy, Mclaren not looking good at all

They both had problems setting the car up and both was in the pits for ages.

After problems at the first three races, F1's new telemetry provider is on a final warning. Any issues in Bahrain, FIA reverts to old spec.

If that was to happen it could be a big headache for the teams who will have to put last year's wiring in this year's cars.
