2018 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand PrixFormula 1

[Dennisch]

Disastrous.

So Hamilton has third sewn up. Vettel has got a lot to do now. He's not coming out in front of Lewis after the next pit... and with the two Mercs tired for the end...

Not a one stopper for Vettel? He did go from the red to yellow tyre.

Ferrari gunner has by the sound of it severe leg injuries.

Yup. You can see in the replay that his leg goes ragdoll .

 

[NotThePrez]

Didn't quite see what happened, waiting for a replay.

Another unsafe release for Kimi's pit crew. The Left rear gunner was hit, and the old tire wasn't even take off.

Given that they had to get a stretcher for the gunner, they may not show a replay until they know he's ok.

 

[queleuleu]

No class from Raikkonen.

 

[fortbo]

His leg was completely snapped, put in in slowmo, he will most likely need lots of surgery. Nasty injury.

That one shot they used was so far away and I didn't know where to be looking at first so I missed it and even if I didn't I couldn't see what was happening.

He's turning up the wick. Ferrari seems like it's going for the two stopper.

FINGERS ARE CROSSED!

Also. 3 retirements. 2 RBR and a Ferrari.

 

[Roo]

No class from Raikkonen.

Incorrect. He wouldn't have known there was an injury when he was called to stop, and his body language visably changed when he realised the severity of the problem. He didn't go to the injured person, which is the right thing to do; the last thing the medical folks need is more people getting in the way. He'll get an update from the rest of the crew at some point, and trying to get involved in the meantime would do more harm than good.

 

[Dennisch]

Best of the rest. Toro Rosso Honda.



Also, does anyone notice how frantic Hamilton uses his radio when he is not in the lead?

*Prays for a kerfuffle in the top 3*

 

[DesertPenguin]

And he's gonna get confustrated, confused and frustrated by it. You can hear it now. And he probably won't drive as well as he can. Good hehe

 

[Lord Kacperov]

From the looks of things, Ericson is on the way to scoring points for Sauber. It’s an Easter miracle!

Also, did Seb complain about blue flagd again?

 

[DesertPenguin]

So who is on a two stopper and who is on a one?

 

[NotThePrez]

So who is on a two stopper and who is on a one?

As far as I know Erricson and Perez are/were on a one stopper.

 

[niky]

I was so very wrong on Vettel's strat.

The only question now is whether he can hold on to those tires for the next six laps.

 

[Dennisch]

Let's see if Bottas has the stones.

 

[niky]

Let's see if Bottas has the stones.

That would definitely make up for Australia!

 

[NotThePrez]

I feel like Bottas will get it; looks like he's roughly 1 second faster per lap than Vettel.

 

[Ether]

4 to go! Cue the jaws theme for Vettel.

 

[Dennisch]

That would definitely make up for Australia!

I can see him buckle under the pressure though.

 

[Lord Kacperov]

The tension is real.

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's all down to the DRS zone and being within 0.5 when he turns it on.

 

[Robin]

Imagine if they took each other out... Hamilton wins and Gasly on the podium

 

[Dennisch]

It's all fun and games between Vettel and Bottas, but we have a Honda on P4.


And that's a nope for Bottas.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Like they said, he had one chance there at Turn 1

 

[niky]

I'm not even mad that Seb won that. What a nail-biter!

Also, Good job, Gasly!

 

[Silent Drifter]

Vettel wins!

Awesome job for Torro Rosso Honda!

 

[PeterJB]

Holy friggin' balls that was good! Haven't be that gripped in a long time.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Congrats to Gasly! 👍

 

[20832]

Congrats to Vettel, DOTD is Gasly easily, what a result!
