2012 Bahrain Grand Prix

[niky]

Chances are actually very good that today's winner won't have won any other races this season. Thus... I'm changing my prediction. Narain will reign in...

 

[Joshua1994]

Really hope Ricciardo can have a decent race especially after his decent performance in qualifying!

If the temperatures are lower (30-ish degrees Celsius now) then couldn't Mercedes benefit?. Also, Mclaren are said to have set up the car around the soft tyres, so couldn't they also benefit because they can run the softs more.

 

[niky]

It's possible.

Laptop has ESPNF1 commentary and live timing windows open side-by-side, GTPlanet on iPad. Running out of space...

Next race, I may have to give up iPad for The Fantastic F1.com App... saw a friend using it... looks fantastic!.. Which means I need one more mobile device to pad my GTP post-count from. And posting in color is a pain on the Galaxy...

That's the million dollar question. Red Bull seemed to have found a couple of tenths which will get them a better chance then previously.

Good move for Alonso and Grosjean!

 

[niky]

Let's go!

What happened to Button? Wet start?

Bravo Alonso!

 

[ZEROX]

Bad luck for Heikki.
Punctured.

 

[GTPorsche]

Schumacher 18th after lap 1.

Like I said.

 

[ZEROX]

Schumi is on fire! YESH!

 

[Dennisch]

Come on Schumi!!!

 

[LancerEvo7]

Vettel is driving like Vettel. Yay.

 

[dhandeh]

Where did Massa get his balls from?

 

[Alex p.]

Come on Schumi!!!

Yes! Yes! Yaba daba dooo!

 

[Alex p.]

Alonso already fifth haha, Devil behind the wheel for sure.

Sorry for DP.

 

[niky]

Ok... We are in for a boring race at the front... Vettel on a scorcher.

Hamilton just can't seem to get a lock on that RBR.

Go go Grosjean!

 

[ghskilla]

Thanks for making the frontal race boring, Vettel, at least the much more exciting racers are fighting it out behind him, and hopefully they don't even pay attention to him. Ugh.

 

[ZEROX]

Looks like we set to have Vettel race again.

 

[RKanharn]

Massa had a great start, what has happened to him. Schumacher and Grosjean also doing well.

 

[RKanharn]

Raikkonen vs Massa battle is amazing.

 

[dhandeh]

Anyone having problems with F1 live timing? Mine isn't loading up!

 

[niky]

Are the Maccas on a tire strategy? They're running a bit slow.

 

[ghskilla]

Vettel's tires are degrading, I think he pushed too hard in his laps.

 

[Joshua1994]

Come on Grosjean. Please take Hamilton!

 

[ZEROX]

Grosjean is getting closer and closer on Hamilton.

works great for me.

 

[SUfan21]

This is great racing :tups:

 

[Alex p.]

Are the Maccas on a tire strategy? They're running a bit slow.

Also what I thought.

 

[RKanharn]

Grosjean to win??!! or is it too early.

 

[gorsad]

Are the Maccas on a tire strategy? They're running a bit slow.

I think so, they seem to be pacing themselves.
