2023 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, March 03 - 05

that is a very fast time from RB on a hard tyre...

[DGP123]

Max on hards 0.5 off Alonso on the softs.

Max on hards only 0.2 off Lewis on softs. Awful from Merc

[organic]

Wait RB used the hard tyre. That means they're going to use Soft-Hard-Soft in the race? whereas everyone else is saving 2 sets of hards

Seems not everyone will be on the same strategy

Awful from Merc? They are in front of Ferrari...

Sam Collins just reckoned the soft isnt going to last as long as people think and could well be a one stopper.

That is ominous from RB.

His predictions never come true. He's legitimately clueless especially when it comes to race strategy. Rewatch the Mexico GP with F1tv commentary to hear Sam Collins talk for half an hour about how Max HAS to pit again

More than likely not. Id believe a Hard race tyre would likely need to be combined with the medium.

Unless of course the RB has become a tyre whisperer

S-H-S seems far more likely to me especially with how much data RB gathered on the C3 in testing & free practices

Albon into 9th with a used soft from yesterday. Looks like the Williams is working better than expected. His longrun looked strong (although probably underfueled) as well

[chrisc90]

Do wonder if RB were thinking how well they hard was, but Max complained of losing grip with it so could have been temperature related. I cant see the tyre dropping off after only a handful of laps.

[Spoutnik]

Rosberg already roasting Alonso. Emotionally/socially unintelligent

Can't stand this guy and his fugazi championship... He's speaking like he's the driver of the century

[Venturiation]

Sky italy said Redbull had to raise the car after testing

Confirms the AMUS rumors

Everything he said was correct.

Could well be that pushing them that hard on the initial laps just dropped them straight into graining/overheating.
