Poll: Bahrain Grand Prix 2020, Sakhir - Race 15/17

[CaptainRAVE]

Accidental camera angle makes the sainz and leclerc battle look epic.

 

[Mr Jack]

10 second penalty for Kvyat - causing a collision

That seems harsh

 

[Flibster]

Good opportunistic move for Ricciardo.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I wonder if Racing Point are watching this and thinking they’ve chosen the correct driver still?...

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Struggling already with rear tyres.

Pit - Ok Max.

Hamilton radio - Tyres are opening up.

Pit - Copy Lewis. Currently Target plus 4. Target plus 4.

That seems harsh

Yeah. I was firmly on the racing incident side of it.

 

[chrismscotland]

Or Schumacher or Mazepin prepping for 2021.

Magnussen pit radio - Mode push, mode push. And reset funk.

Possible but suspect they'll leave both to concentrate on the F2 title

I wouldn't bet on it. If you were getting the drive in F1 anyway, you'd stick around in F2 instead of getting a couple of races under your belt in F1?

Offer them the drive and I suspect they'd leap at the chance.

A lot of smoke from the brakes I assume in the Ocon pit stop?

Oh.. a Magnesium fire?

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton two stopping!

Probably depends on contract wordings

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I can’t believe we are only just over a third into this race. Feels like I’ve been watching all day.

 

[Flibster]

Vettel radio - Ok to state that the grip is low would be failing quite a bit. I don't know, this car has nothing to do with the the car I drove for the last 2 days.

Vettel - Happy to change tyres, nothing with these tyres I can do

Pit - Understood

Hamilton radio - What tyres is he on?

Pit - Verstappen is on the hard tyre

1:33.085 for Verstappen

Raikkonen radio - We stick to the plan that we did? Affirm?

Pit - Yes. Affirm.

 

[Psycho Ned]

No doubt we'll be hearing Bottas has a ton of damage after the race as we usually do when he goes AWOL...

 

[booyaka]

Bottas must be just bored out his mind.....

So far off the pace at the moment, some bad luck in there as well but overall he's miles off/end of season switch off etc.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - How much did I catch Lewis on the last lap?

Pit - Lewis 33.3 You were a 33.7

Sainz radio - I think it's time to go hunting.

Pit - No problem.

Norris pit radio - Ok Lando, Carlos is now the car behind you. We are basically on the same race as him to the end.

The Mercedes 2nd car is always going to be a tough drive against an in form/on it Hamilton but when caught in traffic Bottas just seems to fade away?!...

 

[chrismscotland]

Jesus; another 30 laps? Rain can't be far away......

How much did I catch Lewis. Team - you didn’t.

I agree against Hamilton anyone looks slow....But being lapped in Turkey by your teammate, and just does nothing when mid pack today.....He's checked out for season again.
