Poll: Bahrain Grand Prix 2021, Sakhir - Race 1/23

[Junglist]

I said before the start of the season that Sainz would be close to Leclerc, didn't mean that close

 

[Flibster]

Lots of people improving at the end of Q2, but on softs, not mediums.

 

[Flibster]

Perez out too....

 

[Flibster]

Perez radio - Oh ****** ******

 

[Kenai]

Perez out, not good enough, promote Gasly

 

[chrismscotland]

Bring back Albon.....

 

[Entai]

You don't think those cars can make the top 10 easily on mediums?



Well, with the way it was being talked up ahead of time I thought we might see something noteworthy...

They are just slower versions of last years cars.all equally slow, compared to last year, so there will be no major differences over the course of the season.

 

[Mr Jack]

Pérez and Tsunoda just paid for that decision...

I'm baffled why you don't think this is noteworthy.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Gasly into Q3 with the medium tyres. He's very good.

 

[Flibster]

Bring back 1 hour 12 lap qualifying, all is forgiven.

2 sessions across 2 days as well.

 

[el_dazza]

How far will Hamilton get pole by then, just to show they were trolling the entire time.

He's doing well so far. I'm surprised.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Got to take your hat off to the old maestro Alonso, plenty of drivers have come back after a break and been nowhere. He's made it to Q3 first time out!

 

[Flibster]

Adverts in quali now?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

How far will Hamilton get pole by then, just to show they were trolling the entire time.

I wonder whether they’re using the new innovation that they were talking about or whether they’ll switch it on for Q3.

I thought that was just the diffuser.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I thought that was just the diffuser.

Is that what they’re saying now? Haven’t been following too closely.

 

[JRS]

Pérez and Tsunoda just paid for that decision...

Tsunoda had a scruffy lap, no question. But the Mercs easily stayed in top 10, and Gasly made it.

 

[Nazbit]

SKY showing adverts between qualifying sessions.

When it moved from BBC they promised the race and qualifying hour would remain uninterrupted.

Thieving *********

I think Max is going to smash it to be honest.

Nah, my mistake. Its mclaren with the new diffuser isn't it.

 

[Entai]

But it's not trolling.

There is absolutely ZERO reason to use full pace untill you actually need to, it's not trolling, it's not sandbaging, it's using common sense, and not wasting unnecessary time, energy, and parts.

Teams I have worked on in all levels of racing NEVER use full pace ever in pre season practice.

You only ever use full pace in qualifying never ever at any other time.
