Bahrain GP situation: postponed, reinstated, cancelled

[Hail22]

What franchise? F1?

Oh we discussed this before Melbourne if you remember dear Raymondu! >.<

Anyways check your pm box, juicey info for you.

[Hail22]

OMG THEY HAVE TANKS RACING! SWEET lol jk

Tomorrows race (pending if violence occurs or not) should be good if Vettels falls 10 places haha.

Considering that the Bahrain GP saw some 50-100 spectators on the main grandstand for qialifying they could have done themselves a favour and run it at Bernie's Paul Ricard circuit. It will probably have enough VIP space for the 2,000 Al-Khalifa relatives that are going to see the race.

That Ferrari looks stable

The Mercedes tank here is ahead of the McLaren tank. DDRS effect??

Most definitely!

A good .2 seconds is all you need

New Radiators (rear mounted), deleted rear wing, added around oh lets say 20 tonnes.

She is "planted" now...speed is an issue however

[raymondu999]

Yes - somewhat draggy too I'd imagine. Though they could load up a few rounds and... you know... they'd blow the competition out of the water. Or off the track

[raymondu999]

Considering the speed of those things - I'd wager that's more than 2 tenths

2 minutes, 20 minutes? quite possible

Well those who were against the Bahrain race shouldn't watch as a protest. But I guess thats a bit too much asked

Why? Are all those who were for the Bahrain race going to attend it for support? Now, that would be too much to ask!

[raymondu999]

The point is - for those who said they should cancel Bahrain, they loved F1 too much to boycott it by not watching it on the telly. For the others who say it should be business as usual, it is!

[andartop]

Doesn't make any difference whether you or I watch it on the telly as no one will ever know. The argument is invalid as the point of a protest is to publicly show one's objection towards a situation. I might as well argue that I am showing my disagreement with the race going ahead by not attending the race. Expressing one's opinion here is also a form of protest, as it is public.

In the UK at least Sky collect viewing figures, so yes it does make a difference. Plus it's deeply ironic how people claim the moral high ground but then fail to show even token support.

BBC collects ratings too
