2016 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix

[20832]

The pace of Haas F1 is actually quite impressive. Another fantastic overtake!
On the contrary, it's actually quite sad to see the lack of pace of Williams for the past few races/2015 season. Doesn't seem like they have the pace to be competitive in this season either.

Strategies are weird this year...... love it.

Oh no.. a slow pitstop for Rosberg. He won't be nearly 20 seconds ahead of Kimi now.

Ferrari Powah from 2015 - Verstappen out powers the Mercedes engined Williams again

That wasn't down to power really. Bottas had to compromise his line, and had 4 wheels on the rumble strip during the acceleration phase. Max played it right and got a clean drive off the corner.

Edit, not 4 on the rumble, just mad oversteer on the throttle.

 

[20832]

Carlos Sainz had to retire

Yeah those engines from last year's Ferrari are so fast...even though they're not.

Where the hell did Kvyat come from???

 

[GT-R]

@LMSCorvetteGT2, I see what you did there. I don't get it, either.

 

[GTPorsche]

Where the hell did Kvyat come from???

Only done one pitstop so far.

 

[Dennisch]

The future of F1 does look kinda promising, drivers wise.

Pascal, Max, Stoffel, Carlos. All talented. Good stuff.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Hey @Ryk did you see that Honda engine that was updated from the later part of 2015 pass Massa, you know the car with a Mercedes but a chassis that monkeys designed?

 

[GTPorsche]

A Toro Rosso passed a Red Bull as well. Things are all crazy today.

 

[GT-R]

Kvyat's tyres are done.

 

[GTPorsche]

That Manor is a rocket.

 

[20832]

That Manor is a rocket.

They have no sponsors on their car; weight reduction brooooooo!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

That Manor is a rocket.

Yeah I'm watching his times, and he's running what 7-4th are running a times, what tires is he on? Anyone?

edit:ss

 

[GTPorsche]

They have no sponsors on their car; weight reduction brooooooo!

That also means he's down on power since decals add HP. Known fact.

That makes a surprising amount of sense! But does he have red brake calipers? That would compensate quite bit

 

[twitcher]

We've been talking about the Manor, but Sauber is showing great pace today!!

Edit. "Great pace", relatively speaking

 

[GTPorsche]

Another slow pitstop for Grosjean.

 

[20832]

Oh no, problem with the left rear with Grosjean! Damn it!

 

[Demon Drone]

Of course they screw the pitstop up.

 

[TheBook]

Pitstops have been bad for everyone today.

 

[GT-R]

Rosberg feels lonely. Will Kimi come to rescue?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Pitstops have been bad for everyone today.

McLaren held a seminar earlier in the week.

 

[Dennisch]

Come on Stoffel! One more position for a point!

 

[GT-R]

@LMSCorvetteGT2, that didn't help much, unfortunately.

 

[twitcher]

How in the hell is Rosberg the Lescter of F1???? Best car, wealthy background....Lescter my ass!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Really pulling for so many drivers right now.

 

[Tired Tyres]

10th for van the man in a McLaren of all things.
