Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024 (Saturday race)Formula 1

[Fezzik]

Podium battle at least looks very close

 

[Veinz]

It's a lot closer than I thought it would be.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I hope Ferrari and everyone worked out their race pace issues. Red Bull did well in that area last year

 

[AshenGraey]

Looking at the time, the gaps are not that massive 1-9 is split by half a second which I hope means the pack has really close down. Hopefully in the race we don't see a huge canyon open up between red bull and the rest.

 

[Veinz]

Leclerc would have got pole with his Q2 lap.

 

[Liquid]

Just wait until Verstappen races without ballast tomorrow.

 

[Dennisch]

The race result will depend on how terrible the Ferrari will be with the tyre degradation.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Or "oh no, why does this keep happening to me?"

 

[Dennisch]

Or if the Scuderia Pagliaci turns up again.

 

[Spacegoat]

Alpine back row lock out.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Or whoever Russell decides "turned in on me" into T1

 

[Dennisch]

Completely off-topic but that was a great day for Dutch football fans.

The race result will depend on how terrible the Ferrari will be with the tyre degradation.

Ferrari's long run pace shows low amount of tyre degredation and much better consistency.

[Fezzik]

Come on Charles. Make it interesting.

 

[Fezzik]

Max out of DRS range already

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

So race pace issues for Ferrari are back on for 2024?

 

[PaMu1337]

Come on Charles. Make it interesting.

Is falling back considered interesting? 😅

 

[Fezzik]

Is falling back considered interesting? 😅

Of course. Now we have team polemica.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Weird, Charles dropping another place to Checo. Hopefully Sainz can get let go to chase the top three down. 😶‍🌫️

edit: Keeps locking up.

lockup Leclerc is going to lose them a potential podium

 

[Fezzik]

oh no Logie Bear, he was going well

 

[NotThePrez]

Carlos Sainz begins to make his case for 2025!

Would love to know what happened to Logan, though.

Edit: Looks like Sargeant locked up and couldn't turn. His steering wheel also looked to flash a message saying "Car too hot."

 

[Sum1s2pid]

D'oh.

And Sainz mugging Charles. 😮

 

[Fezzik]

Leclerc and Hamilton or Sainz and Russell.
Ferrari may be getting the worse combo.

 

[Fezzik]

Great move from Sainz.
And now past Russell.

 

[PaMu1337]

Great move from Sainz.

Excellent driving from him in general

 

[Jimlaad43]

18 laps

That's how long it took before the first "We are Checking"

 

[GroupB]

Barring huge Max/Red Bull fans, is anybody really gonna invest time watching 23 more weekends of this?

Yep, I want to know if Mclaren will make strides again.
