2023 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, March 03 - 05

[Vanja #66]

AMR going for glory runs. Always use the chance to get the hype going!

[Matt2725]

Looking at the initial few laps, very little between RB, Ferrari and Merc on average pace. RB probably ahead by a couple tenths on these sims.

As I say that, RB into the low 37s and Alonso does a 36.2.

on lap 4 Leclerc did 138.0 and Hamilton 138.2 and Perez did a 137.2 on his lap 4, whilst max did a 137.1 on his 3rd lap and 136.9 on his 4th.. Some serious sandbagging from others or legitimate race pace from RB?

low 136s at start of stint is usually meaning a simulation of third stint. RB did it a lot in testing

Also Norris running at the same pace as Ferrari and Mercedes

Puts it in perspective then. Some turning the wick down for long runs perhaps

[Juzh]

ferrari was super slow on straights on their fast laps, they're just cruising around

[AR3-GP]

I think people need to get on board with Aston Martin being the 2nd quickest car here. if not the quickest. These race runs are serious. Alonso is hanging with Verstappen.

Agreed the race run from alonso is very impressive if the fuel loads are the same

2nd quickest?

Based on the current timings, you mean fastest.

[AR3-GP]

Lance struggling with his hands on the race runs. Quelle surprise.

Is he fit to do the GP? I'm thinking no if he can't have two hands on steering wheel down the straight. And he hasn't done close to a GP distance
