2022 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, March 18 - 20

[Big Tea]

All is crap, we will have to wait till the final minutes of todays sessions to get a glimpse of the true performance.

Even then we will not know much about energy recovery and deployment and if the same mode used can be run for a whole race distance

It will have to be the same engine mode. They cant be changed between quali and race day. Once they leave the pits in Q1 - that spec of car is locked in

They can still make changes within that 'mode' for recovery.

Mercedes and RBR seem equal in speed at this point. Seems Max however is able to get more from the car.

Are you real? What a stupid comment to make, gets Max' cock out your mouth and come back to reality lol

This is disgusting & basically a malicious online attack. I see it is already reported. Hope the mods wil do something about this.

Indeed there is no place for persoal attacks like that. The original comment also needs removing too as its just an attempt to blatantly troll and get reactions like it did.

They have a lack of running, so what do they do, sit in the garage

Yeah , crazy how it happens every single time.

Fp3 is not representative I suppose

[JonoNic]

The Sky F1 Team just mentioned that teams will sort out between themselves when gaining an advantage by going off track. How would that work?

[jurinius]

FP3 will help to settle the right balance in overall sectors for the Quali as always. We can see that we are not going for close races as expected when those new rules were published.

It won’t.

I don’t understand how the FIA, when this is their crown jewel, can’t manage their own series. It’s their court, tell the teams what to do and be done with it.

F1 fans like to --- on NASCAR and Indy Car, but if there is one thing the American series are good at it is taking control of their own rules, enforcing them, and actually putting on good races. There is none of this soft “nice guy” waffling approach. Make a decision and stick with it.

I can't see that working either. Teams will always interpret any situation to their favor.

Why?

Because it was also a stupid comment. This isn’t Reddit.

That’s why as I said, the sanctioning body needs to tell teams “this is what it is, deal with it, and shut up”. Kimi would be the best Race Director

Anyone know if Leclerc was on new or used tyres on his spin lap? 4 tenths down in the first sector on that lap, suggests redbull has this one sewn up
