Nico Rosberg has won the Bahrain Grand Prix, leading the race virtually from start to finish. The German made an impeccable start to get ahead of Hamilton, and eventually finished in front of Raikkonen in the sole remaining Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton

it was only one race.. no need for an explanation or excuse, for all we know its just an anomaly and Mercedes will be back to leading from start to finish and winning by half a minute again.dans79 wrote:Perhaps is not fixable, or perhaps fixing it might compromise some other area of the car.Chene_Mostert wrote: Why don't they fix it?
I don't buy that its just a W07 problem, they had the same problem last year. At Silverstone they got jumped by Williams, at Hungary Ferrari got them, and I'm blanking on another race where they also got bad starts.giantfan10 wrote: edit: looks like they think it is fixable:
The German team has some question marks , one of them concerning the departure of the two W07 Hybrids, where the new electronics in 2016 did not work properly. This is why the engineers at Mercedes ran for cover immediately, and will bring in Bahrain an update of the software that manages the departures . The "old" version was found to be too sensitive"

I can believe this, as you have said it happened with Renault between 2003 and 2006. Vettel should need only to be third and he could find a better set-up for the car, if this is true, of course...SiLo wrote:I'm not sure if it was a clutch thing. But I did read reports from Horner that said he thinks that Ferrari have some kind of trick to getting great starts and that if they have the second row tied up, they won't really need to make second runs to get pole as they can nick it at the start, just like the Renaults used to.
They won't use mediums and neither will Ferrari. OK I'm not sure about thatPlatinumZealot wrote:Race should be over once mercedes slips on those meedz.
so there's no tyre testing and not much of tactics involved.What does it mean that there was "insufficient resolution of the signs"? It seems very vague, but that they can't see clearly enough, not necessarily that he's unfit to race. Surely there's a higher resolution scan they can do. What would they be looking for anyway, in his chest of all places?FIA via Matteo Bonciani wrote:Two sets of chest CT scans were compared and it was decided that there was insufficient resolution of the signs to allow him to compete on safety grounds.
