Bahrain GP 2010 - BIC

[RacingManiac]

That, my friends, was the most boring race I think I've ever seen.

If I wanted to watch endurance racing, I'd watch endurance racing.

"Save your tires."
"Save fuel."
"Save your engine."

This ain't F1. Effin' Mosley.

Maybe if Bernie would give us HD, then at least we could watch the grass grow in the infield.

Took the word right out of my mouth....too much preservation going on...The fastest lap is like 4 sec off the pace and no one was pushing much until they can see something to be gain from it(and even then not really, seeing how Rosberg didn't really get close enough to a crippling Vettel)...

Funny how Sportscar like LMS/ALMS now are "endurance length sprint" when they run 24 hours of Le Mans the entire race at 98%...F1 is going slower for 90mins....

The second fastest lap was by Adrian Sutil in force India!!!

Redbull car itself was very reliable.. It's just a matter of a faulty exhaust.

Maybe not!

Although it was initially reported that an exhaust was to blame, Horner says they still have to determine the cause.// "We don't at the moment know whether it's exhaust or something else because it was intermittent," he said on the BBC. "We need to get the car back and understand it."

=D> F1 spectacle needs to be spiced up

Hmmmmm, Webber. Qualified badly, got himself bogged down behind other cars and Red Bull didn't time the strategy right to give themselves a chance of doing any leapfrogging. Improvements are sorely needed at Australia. That was poor.

+ Webber had an oil leak after start but the car endured to the race end .

[FGD]

A very boring race indeed... though, if Sutil had not spun on the first lap, he might have spiced things up since he was on a different tire strategy than all the drivers ahead of him.

Let's hope it rains in Australia.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Force India hits the podium this year.

I really don't think that they should be restricting two of the important tools of race strategy. Tinker all you want with the car specs but at least leave the refuelling and tires as important variables. I miss the heavy fueled car defending against a lighter fueled car, or a car with fresh tires against one with fading tires.

Cheers, I wasn't sure what that was. Whatever it was, it looked quite big and not particularly professional. Yet more reliability gremlins............ It's amazing both cars finished. What is certain is if they carry on like that then they won't have that 'luck' continue.

Well, probably not in Bahrain but would be definitely more interesting that the race today.

The start was nice and interesting but then? As usual, nothing happened. Refueling ban was there but with no impact on the action. Some might say there's "some" action if someone is changing his compound earlier and stuff but you have the same thing with a heavy/light car.

All in all, a lame race. Poor Vettel who clearly was very fast today but I'd say P4, under this circumstances, is acceptable. Ferrari showed their pace which is pretty good.

[WhiteBlue]

...Red Bull being fast is a ray of hope that Ferrari will be challenged, but at the moment Red Bull and Ferrari seem to be about equal in performance with a reliability problem at Red Bul...

Everything upside down

Red Bull is the team to be challenged - up till problems Ferrari wasn't able to challenge Vettel.

Reliability problem at Red Bull?!

Ferrari changed both engines, Red Bull none.

If you compare the problems in winter testing and practise it is obvious that my opinion about the lack of reliability at Red Bull compared to Ferrari ist factual. I don't need to count it for you if you have bothered to follow the testing and practise.

That, my friends, was a most boring race.

If I wanted to watch endurance racing, I'd watch endurance racing.

"Save your tires."
"Save fuel."

A typical exercise of demagogic bull manure by the doggie. We all know whose rules proposals got implemented. If there is someone to blame, blame the horse whisperer.

Anybody got all the times Vettel/Massa/Alonso/Hamilton drove in a table or something?

[Moanlower]

Ok the race could've been more exciting, but to say it was effin boring is a bit exaggerated if you ask me. I agree that the tyres have to be more on the edge and that it shouldn't be possible to race 25 laps on softs. Double diffuser should've been banned this year instead of waiting till 2011.

What I want to see is a race on saturday and sunday!

This isn't exactly what you want, but here are the fastest laps: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/03/14/b ... test-laps/

"Save your wheels isn't racing". Yeah, sure.

Heaven protect all us. Good idea: put a 1.000 gallon tank on the cars and paper bond tyres on the wheels.

Why didn't we think of it before spending a gazillion euros on the cars? And, over all, you must have thought that before unanimity were required to change regulations.

People, if there is something that has to be spiced up are the recurrent complains about F1 spectacle. If you're going to whine, please, don't be as boring as... well, you know as what: as my posts.

The only way you can enjoy a race is in the cockpit. All the rest is race porn.
