2014 Bahrain Grand Prix

[Shakeman]

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.

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

Maybe if Honda supply a team that isn't McLaren.

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.

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

Vettel Beaten yet again Mnmracer, what are the excuses this week? Still think he could really have lived with Alonso and Hamilton in a redbull ? Come on now.........truth starting to come out now, now that there are no more trick diffusers, flexi wings and team backing.

Season is over as Hamilton will win it, but I can live with that, you know why? Cos if you gave all the drivers the same machinery and made them race around the world 20 times, Hamilton and Alonso would be at the front anyways. That's the truth my friend, not that other nonsense about Vettel being somekind of super-senna like racer.

Can Mercedes win every race this year ????

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

Its not the engine only, but if you look at the top 10 finishers you will see Merc engine play a big role in this year championship.

Willliam, from Zero to Hero this year without any major shake up in their team.

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

When Paddy Lowe radios both drivers with the same message, that's team orders. Keep the status quo!!!

I genuinely believe Vettel 'didnt have any power' as he said at least once, but thats his doing, by not harvesting properly. Dan simply has these cars down better.

[Shakeman]

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

He could've taken just a little too much out of the tyres. It sounded on the radio like he had one good go and that was it and after that he backed off. I hope the highlights show the battle later.

Paddy post race interview said the drivers were racing.

What about Vettel yesterday claiming he had poor downshifting on his Quali Lap, when Skypad and everyone said the car was shifting gears with no issues?

Vettel is getting exposed, i'm just being honest, Riccardo is as fast or faster straight out of the blocks and it's as simple as that.

[elMaestro]

with Merc being 2 seconds a lap faster along the nearest competitor i think you should wipe out any hope that Redbull will win soon.

Yeah, cuz immediately after that the safety car went in and they at it hammer and tong.

This was not a formation Red Bullshit finish.

Lets hope Ricciardo has a trouble free time now, then we will see for sure

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

Could have been also simply a Setup thing.
Indeed it seemed he could barely follow the Ferraris with his DRS open on the straights. Looking at the horrible speed of the Ferraris this indicates indeed something wasn't as it should be.
If that was a technical issue or just due to Setup is a question only RB will know.

I will kindly ask you to refrain from lying or I will report this behavior.

I guess Horner is also in on it.

It is pathetic how any time Webber had as much as an itch, he was lamented as the unluckiest driver in history, and every time Vettel has genuine problems [censored] with tinfoil hats come out of the woodworks to dismiss it.

Maybe, but we know the RB is also slow, less powerful and they had to hack off bits of aero just to even get close to the rest.

There was a clear difference in straight line performance between Vettel early on in the race and later.
