Grand Prix 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix Practice, Qualifying & Race Discussion

Unfortunately I don't have any text prepared (this was supposed to have been posted yesterday by someone else), nor the time to write anything up, so this will have to do.

 

[Speshal]

Bahrain's been cancelled due to ongoing tensions and high security risks with planned protests!

It's after midday

 

[Hamberg]

I'm in the US.

Dammit!

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Unless they have reliability issues then i think it is safe to say that it will be a Mercedes 1-2.

 

[downforce]

I think the big question here is: Will Chilton finish the race?

 

[teabagyokel]

downforce - Yes. Always.

 

[Tifosi Scuderia Ferrari]

 

[Dizzi]

Splash Chad Stewarthill , you're quite right & I'm under no illusion F1 will be back on free to view in the forseeable future.
I was merely making the point to those moaning about too much coverage when some of us get hardly any.
Afraid we have to spend our money on things other than Sky sports.
So, let me know if I miss anything exciting...you know, like Max winning the race

For me the most interesting thing about this weekend will be seeing exactly where Williams are. With dry qualifying and no grid penalties I think they could be troubling Red Bull.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Dry Qually will be nice.

 

[FB]

Wet qualie would be astonishing...

 

[RasputinLives]

I wanna be a part of it! Bahrain Bahrain!

Oh.....

No I don't.

I can't wait for how amazing that deserts going to look in the dark. Absolutely bugger all lit up with floodlights will be a real delight! Nice move guys.

Oh well at least we'll have the Hulk/Alonso midfield battle that is currently written in to the FOM contract as having to happen at all Grand Prixs to distract us from the amazing sight of those sleeping camals.

 

[LifeW12]

Shadows aren't gonna hide the empty grandstands now!!

 

[Lew_beauty]

The noise of the engines won't hide the silence either.

 

[Jen]

Bugger, we will just have to concentrate on the racing then!

 

[Mephistopheles]

Oh what a glorious sight it will be watching these brand new oh so green cars with their energy efficient power units taking tiny sips of petrol per lap under the bright lights of Bahrain which will be burning thousands of Kilowatt/h of electricity...

There's an irony in there somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on it....

 

[Hamberg]

Does anyone on this bloody forum (excluding gethinceri ) actually like Formula One???

 

[RasputinLives]

We all love Formula One. We just hate the fakeness of Bahrain.

I'm sure gethinceri would agree.

 

[Mephistopheles]

The best Tilke track on the calendar in my opinion is Turkey and F1 doesn't go there anymore..

 

[Hamberg]

We all love Formula One. We just hate the fakeness of Bahrain.

I'm sure gethinceri would agree.

I bet he doesn't! That race will get 10/10, you'll see.

 

[RasputinLives]

I like the spectacle of Singapore, I think the track at Abu Dhabi lends itself to good racing but I just can't gey on with Bahrain at all. Its not a good track, it doesn't look good and it has no atmosphere. I just think F1 has more interesting places it could go.

If it makes you feel better I feel the same about the current Spanish Grand Prix too! I did about Korea and India too but they've gone now. I'll give Austria a chance but suspect it will be one I don't get on with.

So thats a possible 3 out of 19 I'd get rid of if I could which means you don't have to listen to me moan a lot through the season Hamberg
