2018 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, April 6-8

Vettel managed a race when he was forced into a one stopper. Hamilton was lucky that both RB and RAI had problems this weekend.

Vettel saying the tyres were shot 10 laps out. Great drive by him in that case. Poor by Mercedes. Should have been pushing Vettel, not driving to a "he must pit" delta.

They ruined Hamiltons chances here. He had such newer tyres and should have been putting in fast laps a long time ago, not managing some mythical lap time that was based on Vet pitting!

Bottas needs sacking.

Gasly driver of the day/weekend for me.

TBH at the key point the team radio wasn't working properly.

Mercedes tried to pull a fast one on Ferrari. The cards were all in their hands. Vettel just drove clean around their little strategy plan. Definitely a special moment as a Ferrari/Vettel fan. That was a special drive.

Horrific by Mercedes. Vettel was just sticking the knife in with his comments.... I'd have done the same as it was Mercedes race to lose and they did just that.

Too conservative from Merc...They should have unleashed more power earlier on,if softs lasted 40 laps i bet Mediums were well up to the task.

Vettel lucky that Hamilton had a gearbox penalty. He was only 5 seconds behind having driven two stints on "slower" tyres. If he'd been in P4, he'd have won today.

alonso is 4th in championship . if mclaren can suddenly come to level of red bull.he might take championship down to the wire.

So, Ferrari sacrificed the sacrificial lamb! So, not just that the Ferrari have sold the entire car, but also PIT equipment too!

PIRELLI seems to have done a Bridgestone, but at least it helps in drivers pushing and racing hard. This is considered the most abrasive track on the calendar. So, teams can now bet on Softs to do an entire race. That is good.

If he’d had been in 4th, a two stopper would have been the go for all of the top 4 and the race would have essentially been nutralised. Just appreciate the race! This person got lucky, that person got lucky. Blah blah blahhhhh

I was referring to the the race itself not the weekend as a whole. If Hamilton had no gearbox penalty then Vettel's strategy would be different don't you think?

I think everyone will vote him and then Ericson great job from both.
Congratulation for Gasly for the first. Them Ericson then Vettel.

- It's rather opposite : Alonso, "we can forget about midfield and challenge RB" - loses badly to 3 MF teams

- Merc lost the race with a bad stop - a theme in Bahrain.

- Is '18 Toro Rosso half of '19 Red Bull? How many Red Bull people are CHEATING I mean working on their next engine car?

- Verstappen is still one-trick pony at wheel to wheel with his slide across the corner, ram, survive or not technique.

Merc got outplayed.
