2024 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, Feb 29 - Mar 02

[Watto]

Quali is looking close Hamilton looking a little off it wonder if they’ve focused too much on race trim?

[Luscion]

Merc is way down in the speed trap. Did 316kph yesterday and only 312kph in Q1.

wonder why thats the case, lower engine mode?

[F1doc]

Alpine are in for a long season. They stopped talking about their 5 year plan. They aren't really adding any value to F1.

Makes a mockery of F1's reasons to not have Andretti in.

[AR3-GP]

Meanwhile, VER pulled a 30.1 on worn softs.

I caught that as well…

as another poster said, probably LH messed with the setup come Saturday and lost performance, it is a common theme in the last two years for him.

Very tight spread in Q1. I'll go out on a limb and say the regs are working.

Why would they use a lower engine mode now? If anything Hamilton is scraping his car along the circuit and it’s slowing him down.

[dren]

Who had Stroll for P2?

Hope AM hangs around through Q3.

[Formula 1 fan]

This is little sad and in same time back to reality for me...

[InsaneX_Badger]

HAM is struggling to match his FP2 pace.

Meanwhile, VER pulled a 30.1 on worn softs.

Wouldnt be surprised if he changed his setup and completely messed it up, did that a bunch last year trying to chase more performance

Can't remember which thread I said this in but I was unfortunately thinking the same. Let's hope whatever changes he made for the race he made will be worth it.

Ultimately, the team doesn't really understand why they were so good yesterday.

Also, me thinks that they ran the car too low yesterday and had to raise the ride height a little.

A replay showed LH running crazily low (i mean it was sparks everywhere), but yeah it could be the case they still raised it a bit.

Hamilton was sparking aggressively on the main straight.

Max touched 331kph!!!

[AR3-GP]
