2014 Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Waiting for Red Bull to dominate in 3...2...1...

Not yet.. After Bahrain, rules will change in favor of RBR. This race they can't use their cheats but it's about to change. Luca di Montezemolo, Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt are making decisions this weekend at Bahrain, to address issues like : fuel flow limitations... What a fcking disgrace.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Is this the "chat" or am I missing something?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

With this dominance of Mercedes I wonder how long it will take before the F1 crowd starts booing HAM and ROS.

When Red Bull is this fast its called cheating, how is this called then?

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

So far I'm just enjoying the shoe being on the other foot, and I don't mind one season with Hamilton/Mercedes dominance, but for the sake of racing I hope that we will see competitive racing on track for the top 5 places already this year.
Also, as long as Hamilton keeps behaving like he has I don't think you'll see people booing anytime soon, people started booing Vettel after the multi 21 farce (and rightly so imo).

Edit: And who said anything about RB being fast = cheating?

 

[António da Cunha]

Isnt Sutil getting a penalty for that move on Grosjean during Q1?

Also, when is Mclaren going to stop looking like a Beta Test car and get a new patch?

I may hope so as that looked really nasty. Lotus had no where to go other than going off track into the dust.

Isn't that the most beautiful sight ever..... Vettel not in Q3....

And Raikkonen through barely too

Vettel starts 11, now he needs both his index fingers to show the camera his position!

He starts 10th, because Ricciardo is penalised

Was that a joke or did I miss this piece of info?

Ricciardo has a 10 place penalty from last week.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Nvm, 10 grid penalty for last race pit farce.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Anyways very good to see Riciardo performing so well!

 

[António da Cunha]

Totally forgot about the other Red Bull dude... I suppose Ricciardo doesn't like index finger on the double.

 

[António da Cunha]

Happy day. Bottas 3rd and Massa 7th. Best of hopes for tomorrow, maybe we watch a Williams on the podium.

Really impressed with Perez aswel, I wasn't expecting that at all! Also, The Finn beats the Spaniard. Was pleasant to watch, a few mild surprises.

Lets now see if Sutil gets a penalty for his move on Grosjean.

 

[Milos]

Shame for Alonso

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Decent qualy, not a thriller by any means though.
Looking forward till tomorrows race!

Nico on pole

For once the Ferrari looked like it was handling okay for Raikkonen when we were onboard his car early in Q3. It looked like a spot on lap from him so I'm not surprised he's qualified that high up and ahead of his teammate.
