Bahrain GP 2012 - Sakhir

[myurr]

Grosjean's Lotus looks quick but he was really overdriving it. Lost a whole heap of time in several corners.

[Vasco]

I wonder if Vettel is enjoying the warmer conditions and can now heat his tyres better.

[myurr]

Vettel is looking good at the moment, possibly temperatures but possibly his setup is good for one lap pace but poor for the race and they'll end up having to compromise the balance a little more. Button and Webber don't look too comfortable with the setup at the moment, with Button just going on the radio to say he's struggling with the rears, whereas Hamilton is really dialed in. Matched Vettel's best on his first flier and is now halfway through a slightly quicker lap.

[myurr]

Hamilton 3 tenths quicker. Car looked really stable and solid throughout the bits of that run that were aired.

[myurr]

Replays show that Hamilton made a small mistake on his fastest lap in the middle sector, the only one he didn't set a purple time losing out to Vettel by a tenth.

[myurr]

Front right tyre blistering I think on Webber's car on what I believe is his seventh or eighth lap of this run.

[Mestrades]

All the teams are suffering from degradation of the rear tyres

[myurr]

Vettel could be in for another race grumbling about top speed. He's spending half the straight sat on the limiter.

[WhiteBlue]

PDR KERS is working intermittenly

[Mestrades]

The Mercedes have a lot of problems with full fuel tank

[sAx]

On board with F2012, even looks undriveable in Alonso's hands. Oversteer on every corner. 8secs off pace on lap he aborted!

Massa just had chunks of his front right tyre fly into the cockpit through turn 12. That Ferrari is not handling at all well and is really going to struggle in the race unless they can do something to significantly improve the setup.

P1 Doesn't seems so well, 13th for Alonso. If anything they might be slower.

[kalinka]

I'll wait for another onboard from Alonso. That run looked unbelievable bad.

they are like that in every FP1...they were not chasing times...
