Poll: Official 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Thread - International Circuit, Sakhir - Round 1

Perez 16 seconds down.... It's as if that red bull is just a re badged ferrari /McLaren....

Ever since last year that 2nd red bull car hasn't performed any better than a Ferrari/McLaren) Mercedes-Benz car!

Anyway, you think it’s tough watching this as a viewer. Imagine watching this as a commentator trying to hype it up and make it sound more exciting than it is!…

Apparently to some members here, it's a very exciting race...

Oh look the leader

 

[Kautya]

While he was stuck they may as well have changed the nose on Bottas' car.

Yeah I thought that

Albon radio - I've got absolutely no power at all!

 

[Housey]

I hoped everyone would be closer, but sadly not and I can't see any of the teams getting close to Newey, he is on a different level at the moment.

20 Second lead over the first non-RB car - 2023 all over again

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc radio - I think we can forget about driving now. I'm ******* pulling everywhere. I don't know what the car is going to do every time I brake.

He has done an amazing job and just as everyone copied the car from last year he has changed the design. I would still hazard a guess that the RB floor is still far more complicated than most, where all the magic is happening.

24 races this year though

 

[Flibster]

Piastri asks too much of cold tyres and Hamilton sneaks a place.

 

[Junglist]

24 races this year though

More punishment for us!

 

[booyaka]

are we done yet?

You know when 5 laps into a new season - cars / drivers are already told "tyre management please" it will be another long boring season....

Max/RB in another league to everyone else at the moment.... I would put a lot of money on at least 20 wins this season for Max.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Yeah, these tyres are loosing grip

 

[Slam62]

Leclerc does fastest lap

 

[Flibster]

Gasly radio - Do I need to keep lifting or not?

Pit - Yes, please continue what you're doing.
