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

[Watto]

Both Mercs bring told to lift and coast

[Juzh]

Perez 8 tenths off max every lap... Bet Sainz beats him to the line.

[mkay]

Looking at Max's onboard his battery is always at nearly 100%, so not much deployment being used up.

Yikes. Well done to Red Bull, but that's terrible for the sport.

Battery issue, lift and coast, and now his seat is broken. Absolute mare.

[JPower]

Checo even further off than usual.

Sainz matching his pace.

Perez PU sounds very weak on corner exits. Like he can’t get on the throttle or no power. Something doesn’t seem correct there.

How does sport work...

At least with aero/chassis formulas we get to SEE the differences amongst the cars incl the leading car. In the Merc era it was all hidden under the engine cover.

Max's pace is just humiliating.
Sainz doing good.
Mercedes very disappointing.

I have a feeling this could become copypasta.

[AR3-GP]

I think Perez has an issue. Exit of T1, exit of T8, exit of T10 there’s no power. You can barely hear the engine and then it kicks in.

RB not pushing again pulling huge gaps here whilst Leclerc has reliability issues. Same story as last year

[BlueCheetah66]

Max might catch Clark in Grand Slams at this rate

[organic]

Pedro de la Rosa lap record under threat right now

[Watto]

Charles saying tyres are lasting longer than expected. That’s some good news

[Tvetovnato]

BoP incoming to F1 in 3.. 2.. 1..

Yeah Sainz looks like he will catch Checo

[AMG.Tzan]

Wow, 10 laps 8,5 seconds gap!

Another season full of intense Qualifyings and boring races…
