2014 Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix

[Emerson Meyer]

Great race indeed!

Perez and Hulk, amazing job!

 

[Ho3n3r]

That was a decent race. Plenty of overtakes, and many not even in DRS zones.

Hamilton deserved that.

With regards to class B, for Red Bull to be 4th and 6th on a fast circuit, from 10th and 13th cannot be underestimated. They are making ground.

Perez what a legend! Perhaps moving to Force India wasn't such a downgrade after all.

 

[Salut Gilles]

Cause getting Hulkenberg would be an improvement over either Alonso or Raikkonen? I don't think so.

Not now, but the future isn't that far away... like 2-3 seasons... or less... we'll see.
Nobody stays young forever, sadly.

 

[Salut Gilles]

THUNDERSTRUCK! NANANANANANANANANA!

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

That was a decent race.

Decent? Can you name one race since 2000 that was better overall? (aka not only because of a fight between your fav driver and someone else).
I can't, no race I've ever watched has been this thrilling!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Fantastic race. Amazing how a driver without power is able to win

Mercedes engine is just that good?

Sure, both of them are going to retire (Raikkonen currently is the oldest driver ), but if Ferrari stay on their current level, then getting Hulkenberg won't make much of a difference.

More like the engine-ering payroll is skyrocketing

Well, everyone knows that's a big "if" it's not like they don't have enough re$ource$ to bounce back, not now, but next year? Or in 2?

I've been hoping for that pretty much since 2009

 

[Alberto Casado]

It won't get any better than this.. That was just awesome race, from start to finish.

A bit more level field between first two and the rest (I mean... right after SC that was alien getaway from the mercedes) and this would be perfect.

On the same line than "I have no power, ups, I won". "I am losing so much on the straights" 10 seconds after being overtaken by my teammate, then I hang on there and try a couple times to pass. Yeah, sure.

 

[Mark Aalberts]

24 secs in 11 laps, that gap is not going to be closed this year. Atleast they let them fight for it.

Me 2. But I know they're not giving up. Patience... Took them 15 years+ to come back on top in the 80-90's...

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Next, Ferrari update and they get that one second weight penalty off their backs.. With two mercs fighting at the top and the rest fighting with each other, can't see why this can't happen in every race. Sometimes change is good..

 

[Niki Đaković]

Nah. As soon as Renault closes 60hp gap to Mercedes with something of 35-45 hp. Vettel will fight it out to Mercs. Considering that the track of choice isn't Monza.

 

[Emerson Meyer]

Alonso's happiness at the end of the race was contagious

My phone Battery is even more miserable than their ERS is...

Off the top of my head, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012 Brazilian Grands Prix, there were a few in San Marino between the Schumachers that were epic battles as well.

At least Webber has retired, so now the Red Bulls are also more closely matched

Ricciardo got a 10 place grid penalty for unsafe release in Malaysia, Maldonado go a 5 place grid penalty for ramming into the side of Gutierrez and tipping him over.

Sense is seriously lacking in terms of penalties.

 

[Alexandre Rideaux]

Well, Perez and Ricciardo finally got the results they've deserved all year. Maldonado was looking to have a good clean race until that mystical force behind the #13 had none of that.
