2014 Bahrain Grand Prix

[bonjon1979]

That's what I was hoping for from the new format! Even before the safety car it was exciting - the passing seems much more driver influenced as the cars aren't on rails.

Exactly. With tyres that melted and drs the cars just breezed by, now we seem to have proper racing back.

And the people who say F1 2014 is boring. GTFO. Best race in the past 5 years for a fully dry race.

However, one thing that needs sorted ASAP is Pastor Crashdonado, ban him for 3 races and as for those low noses, lets get those sorted for 2015 and get the cross section in line with middle of the front wheel axle for gods sakes. All im asking is that the nose gets raised by about 100mm or so and the banning of those twin tusk noses. Another way would be to look at the GP2 cars nose and adopt roughly its height.

Vettel a good 6th but must be looking at himself and asking what he needs to do.

Get a car that works properly

There was nothing wrong with his car, he just hasnt worked out how to use it yet.

His teammate has though, beat him and outqualified him yet again.

What happened to Super seb, the guy who was the fastest one lap qualifier since senna...... Until some newb fresh out of a torro rosso starts outpacing him.

And hearing him on the team radio imagining things are broken every time he gets beat is hilarious too.

Chickens are coming to roost, Hamilton or Alonso would wash this guy away in the same car, let alone Riccardo.

[Traction]

Because it is?

I dont think its broke, its just crap

Perhaps RB should sacrifice a tiny bit of downforce for some top end...

Need to give safety car and Pastor some credit for the epic finish.

Kudos to Lewis and Nico (+Merc) that was coooooooool!! A little bit gutted for Hulk and the Williams but RIC deserved that!

Great race!

3 points for Ferrari hahaha.

[piast9]

Wow, what a race! It was nice to see what Mercs can do when they are let off the leash. They are from another planet! Well done for the winner, too bad for Williams who lost at the safety car period. When you look at the finishing order today you may conclude that enginewise Mercedes is best followed by Renault while Ferrari is last. I also wonder what penalty Maldonaldo would receive for his antics. His move was incredible stupid.

I think it would have been as close with all the differing strategies shaking out. But it was some advert for F1 and will make more people tune in for China and Barcelona.

The only hilarious thing is that you seem think that's the petty sort of thoughts F1 drivers have at 200 mph.

[gray41]

What a race, how didn't Rosberg get past!

One thing is certain this year. Championship has already been decided by 3rd race of the year.

From now on, it will be the race between teammate.

Lets hope Honda will be able to shake to the order in 2015

Sheer racecraft, but what fantastic racing from the pair of them.

I think you got that quite a bit wrong, it was the rear wheel rolling on to the Maldos front one, lower/higher nose would make 0 difference, you can avoid that only with full bodywork covering wheels

[Juzh]

rosberg backed off for the last 3-5 laps, that much was clear.

Even now McLaren have the same engine as FI and Williams. It's not the engine only.
