Bahrain Grand Prix 2013, Sakhir - Race 4/19

Tenner on Hammy to win tomorrow @ 33/1 (free bet)

Cheeky quids on:

MW @18/1
RG @25/1
NR @40/1
JB @40/1
FM @14/1


Tomorrow, every single one of these will crash into each other on the first corner. It is my luck! So getting betting on it :p

Just saying that if it was one of Merc's own components that failed, then yes, it's fair.

A tyre failing and taking out suspension and possibly driveshaft, and that all the teams have to run that component, then it's not that fair.

Seen a few tweets saying the same thing. Including from DC, which is unsurprising, as a Red Bull employee, his job is to whine about the tyres whenever possible and this plays right into his hands. ;)

Ah ok, I couldn't work it out from your first post. :)

I agree with everything you just said. Is it too early to determine the cause of the tyre failure?

If it was due to Hamilton wearing it down to the canvas then it's his own fault and the punishment should stand, but if it's down to a manufacturing fault then I think Pirelli should get a five-place grid drop. :p

It was confirmed to be the tyre that failed first, but cause of failure has not been determined yet. But, it was a full delamination of the tyre, all the 'tread' came away.

Giving Pirelli a 5 place grid drop? Sounds fair. Leave the top 5 cars on the grid on bricks and then have 5 stacks of tyres at the end of the grid to act as obstacles for the rest of the drivers. ;)
