Sebastian Vettel has led the Bahrain GP from start to finish to win his first GP of the season. Kimi Räikkönen brough his Lotus car home in second place after a few unfortunate races. His teammate Grosjean finished third to complete a great result for Lotus.
...Kimi...not so much... It looks like Hamilton and Button are having to race and try to win with their team actively hampering them.raymondu999 wrote:Yeah! It's ridiculous!

Hard to say - they were caused by the timing of the pitstops - not really a duff stop, if that makes sense.wesley123 wrote:Seems they jsut like to throw points away, I havent seen any good stop from McLaren recently, well not even in the last 3 years.

Havent seen the races, but if I read correctly Hamilton could already won at least 2 races, but were ruined by pitstops.raymondu999 wrote:Anyone know details on WHY the McLaren pitstops were so... rubbish?

If Rosberg doent get a penalty, then hamilton must get one - just as in Belgium 2008/9 when he was found to have gained advantage by running off track and overtaking through the next sequence of corners!!vall wrote:true, you may change direction once but pushing driver off-road is not allowed.Th0R wrote:why should they, one change of the race line is permitted explictly.

Maybe they need to hire a trainer of sorts to whip up their pit crew into their pitstop routines.
I was under the impression that it was Hamilton who was going to be scolded. I hope there's no penalty.kenny5 wrote:If Rosberg doent get a penalty, then hamilton must get one - just as in Belgium 2008/9 when he was found to have gained advantage by running off track and overtaking through the next sequence of corners!!vall wrote:true, you may change direction once but pushing driver off-road is not allowed.Th0R wrote:why should they, one change of the race line is permitted explictly.
