2024 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, Feb 29 - Mar 02

[DGP123]

If Red Bull, Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes are all within a tenth, this qualy would be huge. I don't think Max has the pace advantage

Should be similar to last year. Q being close and the highlight of the weekend, and then RB’s race pace making the difference.

Looks like Merc was running way higher power than the others yesterday.

That replay doesn't look like it

[Formula 1 fan]

It seems I was right sadly about Mercedes...

Back to reality?

[Formula 1 fan]

Better to say, back to normal reality, true.

[FittingMechanics]

Holy --- Alpine is slow.

[Bill_Kar]

Yeah, I expect Mercedes to be stronger tomorrow, but Q pace seems a solid 4th-5th in terms of pecking order.

LEC out on a 2nd new set of softs?! This will make it difficult to still fight for pole.

[101FlyingDutchman]

Low 29 for pole?

Who had Stroll for P2?

HAM is struggling to match his FP2 pace.

Meanwhile, VER pulled a 30.1 on worn softs.

Being the only 1 in the top 5 to complete their second hot lap at the end of the session, makes sense. He'll tumble back down towards the back of the top 10 when all said and done.

Alpine's pace is shocking.

[Formula 1 fan]

It seems i was right about Hamilton move to Ferrari.

Wouldnt be surprised if he changed his setup and completely messed it up, did that a bunch last year trying to chase more performance

[mkay]

Merc is way down in the speed trap. Did 316kph yesterday and only 312kph in Q1.
