A Ferrari 1-2.
Says it all really.
Says it all really.
Right, first blood to Ferrari and Alonso, a 1-2 for the Tifosi, and well done to them.
Hamilton gets 3rd, a quiet race, but a podium is a podium.
Vettel will be punching walls, people, himself, the car, EVERYTHING, his car threw a win away. Instead he puts up with 4th. His car BARELY finished
Rosberg and Schumacher 5th and 6th, Mercedes up there in their first race.
Button 7th and Webber 8th, both will be looking at their teammates pace and wondering why they couldn't keep up.
Finally Liuzzi 9th and Barrichello 10th, the Force India is a dark horse this year but I can't help but wondering is Barrichello wishes HE was partnering Schumacher again, but on equal terms?
Well, race one gone. Ferrari on top, RBR fast but...oh dear. Everyone else needs to get their thinking caps on, McLaren and Mercedes have a way to go to get close, and they aren't anywhere near yet.
Bring on Australia....
Oh, and kudos to Lotus, best prepared new team indeed.

Vettel holding onto 4th place may have been the best piece of racing this week. Just amazing.
He was basically only racing against Rubens last year. Such a strange season. Problems Red Bull had to sort out in the first two races don't happen and Vettel is a much more deserving champ.

Oh yes, braver than 99.99% of people to get back into an F1 car after that incident. I hope he aces Alonso too this year, if only to stop the smug Spaniard git.Lucius86 said:
Anyway, anthem time...it should have been German/Swiss, instead, bah.
I think everyone (In the Big 4 teams) below Hamilton/Vettel drove a bit badly really, nowhere near the pace for most of the GP, Vettel at the end was probably just as fast as Alonso, just with a broken POS.ElyrionX said:
The podium & Vettel will be the main 4 contenders for the WC this year. Just who comes out on top depends just as much on reliability and the speed of the cars as it does driving ability.

God, Bahrain is so bloody boring. Bugger all happened to be honest, very disappointing in that respect.
Feel bad for Vettel, probably would have won if he didn't have problems but Alonso's pace once he got past was excellent.
Yeah, considering the lack of time the new teams have had, I'm pleasantly surprised and happy that they got to the end. Fecking slow though.
Definitely, did a great job.
:lol
And Felipe baby on BBC :lol

Great win for Alonso. I'd say a surprise, but I'd already picked him and Massa to finish 1/2 today. Nice points there. Rosberg let me down with no pole, and missing the podium. But I'm extra happy guy Lewis got that. He's officially in the hunt, and if they can get that car working in qualies, he'll be in the thick of it all season.
Great return drive for Massa. I thought he had something for Fernando, but maybe in a few races. He's still a force to be reckoned with.
Lewis did a great job outracing Benson, and showing the potential of the car. Without losing those 11 seconds to the Ferraris, he would have been able to at least challenge for the win. But 3rd in the first race is a nice start. I hope for great things this season.
I was disappointed in Michael, but I give him credit for trying at his age. He's still a hell of a lot better than a scrub like Kov, and he's not far off his teammate at present. Still...surprising to see Michael Schumacher finish behind his teammate, while both cars are still running. Bizarro.
Good on Liuzzi and Rubens. If they pass inspection, I get a lot of points off bets. The bets I got right are:
Alonso 1st
Massa 2nd
Chandhok 1st out
Force India scores
Barrichello scores
I did a damn good job. If Nico was worth a damn, I'd have cleaned house. Oh yeah, I have Liuzzi as my driver, a Force India engine and Shell oil.
Virgin and HRT are kicking my butt though. PEACE.

He was 10th. The bet was "More than 1 point". He only got 1.

What a borefest. F1 needs completely new rules for the tyres. Also all Tilke tracks need to get banned.
So sad about Vettel. Good to see him fighting like a lion tho. He does this red number 5 justice.

Ferrari did a very good job! 1-2 finish is probably the best start to a season. Alonso and Felipe had a good drive. Hopefully Felipe will respond to Alonso's victory in Melbourne. I don't like Alonso for some reason even though he's a good driver. Nonetheless, it was a great racing comeback from Felipe.
However, Vettel was the driver of the day. That was really tragic for him to lose his position like that. He was completely in control of the race till the exhaust problem.
Also, Button is probably the most undeserving champion ever. What a lucky guy.
The track was boring as hell. It was a yawn-fest. The rule changes suck too. Bring back re-fueling! There is no more pit strategy and drama. If this is going to be the format for the races this season, it is going to be one boring season.

It wasn't like that the last time refueling was banned. It's really a problem of the retarded tyre rules. Back in the days the teams could use as many tyre sets as they wanted and they were not forced to start with the same tyres as from the qualifying or to use different types of tyres during a race. The result of this is to see drivers who drive very carefully instead of pushing hard all the time and produciung some action.
Maybe the FIA should insist that Bridgestone bring two good tires to a track now too. If drivers are gonna be forced to use both compounds, don't make one completely gimped so that everyone ends up using the same strategy. If tires were more competitive, it might force teams to consider different strategies. PEACE.

Bah, my F1RaceManager team did terrible. Both drivers (Glock and Senna) and the engine (Virgin) out. Well, at least I got one (two? not sure) bet right.
Okay race- nothing terribly exciting, but at least something happened near the end to shake things up.

This too. It's almost like they gimp one tire on purpose for easier overtaking for people on the other tire/ That worked last season, but now it's just a race to the first pit stop, holding on to your tires as long as possible and then get the better tires. Except the problem is: everyone does this. Also, make 2 stops mandatory.
Also, 4-5 second pit stops are a dissappointment. DTM is doing it in 3 seconds you bunch of lazy bums.
What a snooze fest. New rules are mind numbinlgy shite. Q3 was a shitfest. Race was tear inducingly boring.
Yeah we won but meaningless, the Red Bull in the hands of Vettel is fucking fast. Pleased with Alonso, shame that Felipe had his problems.
I hate Bahrain. Who wants to race in the fucking desert on a mickey mouse piece of shit. I'd rather watch a race at Barcelona which says it all.
The old man needs to up his game, Britney has the advatnage at the moment and Britney is shit. At least he finished ahead of Button.
Hamilton is still godlike, how he managed to get is chrome breeze block into 3rd and still have that sort of pace was amazing.
Melbourne will be 1000x better race track. Will look like hot-sex on TV. The new rules? They will make that into a dull race as well.
Fuck this no refuelling bullshit.

Aye, I don't think too many people like Bahrain, but I'm sure those guys can write a cheque so big it sounds like a brick when it hits the table. I'm fairly sure that new section won't be there next year. Noone liked it at all.
Obviously a perfect result for Ferarri. Ominous signs indeed!

Re-introduce ground effects, turbos, single-deck diffusers, smaller rear/front wings, unlimited testing, and ban all of Tilke's tracks except Turkey.
A man can dream, although there were rumours in 2007 that turbos were to be re-introduced in 2011.
