I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of last years first race there between Hamilton and Verstappen, and 2019 Silverstone Lec vs Ver. Silverstone is obviously a bit of a different track, but I remember those two were at it much of the race.shamyakovic wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:39Bahrain has a lot of run offs, so I don't think it will happen.
I am not convinced about the new cars.. it looks like trucks and sluggish. It may be able to follow easily, but I don't think it's as agile as the previous era cars.codetower wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:49I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of last years first race there between Hamilton and Verstappen, and 2019 Silverstone Lec vs Ver.

I wonder how this will play out? Will they start off very hard on anyone transgressing the line to set their new stall out, or will there be some leniency?shamyakovic wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:39Bahrain has a lot of run offs, so I don't think it will happen.
Leniency leads to a lack of consistency.Big Tea wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:54I wonder how this will play out?

Agree the track limits should be enforced strictly from first practice onwardsStu wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:57Leniency leads to a lack of consistency.Big Tea wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 20:54I wonder how this will play out?

good thing..PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 21:36They say this new race director is draconian when it comes to the white lines. All wheels off mean you are off the track. If a single inside wheel goes over the white line you are cutting the corner.
Maybe they should put the line half a tyre width from the kerb, so the driver is in no doubt he is about to 'foul'?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 21:36They say this new race director is draconian when it comes to the white lines.

As long as he is consistent in rule application, everything will be good.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 21:36They say this new race director is draconian when it comes to the white lines.

You will get those after FP2 where the teams will do a long run simulation and the returned tires are analyzed by Pirelli… The data from Testing isn’t as useful
But the initial opinion from testing is that its going to be minimum 2 stopsSmallSoldier wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 23:03You will get those after FP2 where the teams will do a long run simulation and the returned tires are analyzed by Pirelli… The data from Testing isn’t as useful
Yes, but he was asking about number of laps… We won’t know those until the teams do real race simulation lapsshamyakovic wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 23:05But the initial opinion from testing is that its going to be minimum 2 stopsSmallSoldier wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 23:03You will get those after FP2 where the teams will do a long run simulation and the returned tires are analyzed by Pirelli… The data from Testing isn’t as useful
