Not gonna lie, this s**t took way too long to record, edit and upload. don't get used to it :D
Is something off with the sound, or is Hamilton's car making strange noises upshifting into 7th/8th gears towards the end of the lap ?

Top job by the way. Thank you so much.
It's just f1tv audio glitch, it's happening on all cars.

When the compounds were softer and it was too unpredictable the outcomes when Pirelli started in F1 they had lots of complaints too, so it is the overall F1 who has dictated the tyre rules I would say, all to blame not only Pirelli
Talking about tyres and not the rubbish Pirelli had made from 2010-13. I have seen innumerable races from Goodyear and Bridgestone where 2 stop races were a norm without drivers having to drive to deltas.

Pirelli's incompetence is most magnified when it's wet. Whiting, and may that man rest in peace but the reason he had to deploy the SC when it was wet was because the tyres couldn't dissipate enough water. It might surprise you, but we have watched a multi million dollar sport for the past 7-8 years with very average suppliers and quality. Pirelli just does not cut the mustard.

The first step in the 2021 regs must be to look for a new tyre manufacturer.
I think many are forgetting the engine rules. It's the conserve your engine as much as possible formula that means the teams take it easy. Imagine Goodyear or Bridgestone on these cars now, I wouldn't see any difference in the result in terms of attitude to racing. No one is going to go out there and hammer on as fast as possible, it would just put too much strain on the PU's and risk grid penalties.

I agree on the wet weather tyre's though.
And don't forget that back then the tyre supplier could test freely. What did they come up to test the Pirelli on wet? Please some one remind me.

I doubt Ferrari will manage the tires efficiently with a low drag setup through the entire race
Indeed they find the sweet sport for qualifying but they'll compromise the tires..this is my though. If they will manage to keep this tires in the optimal window also in the race then they built a great package this season.
Of course I struggle. I just don’t quit.

I have a feeling that, Leclerc is carrying less wing than even Vettel, which shows in the mini sector comparison. On almost all corners, Vettel is faster than Leclerc. While Leclerc might be skiddy on straights, he might have difficulty in keeping the tyre life in race.

"Vettel won almost all corners"?

There're 10 non-flatout corners and Leclerc won 4 of them (turn 4, 6, 8 & 14). Doesn't sound like Lec lost "almost all corners"

magnussen q3 1.28.757 P6 . Did they remove the suspension from this car entirely? It's shaking like crazy. By far the most of any car I've seen.

Has anybody any information as to why Vettel got out of his car in the garage during Q3, from the comments by other ex-racing drivers that is unusual even if he was only doing one run. Lets hope that there isn't an underlying issue that meant that Seb couldn't push as hard as LEC.

He said he didn't want to go out on used tyres and had to go to the toilet. :)

Looks like a much lower ride height, but why would they do that ?

The FIA has moved ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix to stamp out a Gurney Flap trick that could have handed teams a setup advantage in Formula 1 races

I think RBR got nailed by this...

Haas has been "shaky" like this since last year IIRC. Anytime you go to a Haas onboard, the car sounded like it's running on a bumpy road.

In Spain, where the track was resurfaced, their mirrors were still shaking quite a bit.

Last batch. I think all interesting laps are now done. All laps are also uploaded to google drive repository.

kubica q1 second lap 1.31.875 P20 - kubica is 3 tenths ahead of his best lap before the last corner, but throws away oppurtunity to beat russel by messing it up completely

Because his car started loosing parts on that lap. Some aero parts fell off from front wing and then the camera went flying.

That's really is notable. Are they maybe running it low and stiff just for aero? I didn't think it was such a necessity on that chassis.

Does Grosjean’s penalty impact tire options available for him and/or Ricciardo?
