Poll Out of Ten - 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix

[ExtremeNinja]

No where near as dangerous as drivers going sledding on thier front wings or discarding wheels on the racetrack. I don't think safety is a particularly large problem with regards to DRS, especially with all the run off. They'll still have a fat set of composite anchors to get them stopped or slowed down.

I have to say that that he did 2 laps with it open is quite impressive.

I don't see the argument for banning DRS on safety grounds personally. There's plenty of things that can break on an F1 car and cause an accident.

And I'm with teabagyokel , Alonso seemed to be able to carry on regardless with no major issues!

Anyway, we digress.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I'll bloody well argue banning it on any and all grounds I can think of...

 

[Fenderman]

Me too.

So as not to derail the OP, I think I gave it a 7. Yes, I'm sure, I did.

 

[The Pits]

Well, the regs state that it must fail in the closed position, so Ferrari are breaking the rules, and must be punished to the full extent of the law.

I thoroughly enjoyed the race, a 9 from me.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Hang the bastards...

 

[Fenderman]

Yeah! Grrrr! Warpath

This is missing the word "for" between the words "argue" and "banning" unless you mean to just argue about it without having a desired outcome.

 

[gethinceri]

Although, knowing you.......

 

[F1ang-o]

Well I think .....it could be a big lump of rubber from the weird tyres that jammed in the DiReS ...so get rid of them both....

 

[Mephistopheles]

You are correct gethinceri I just like to argue

 

[gethinceri]

No you don't.

 

[The Pits]

Meanwhile, back on the subject of the race........

 

[ramilas1]

Bit late with an opinion on this - was in USA for two weeks and, by not using t'internet or tv (who does on holiday?) and not asking anyone directly, returned on 4th of May completely unaware of the quali or race outcomes.

Having now watched the full run-through of both, read a few reviews and all the comments on here ...... it's definitely a 6 at max!

Less than Australia, which I set as a bench-mark 7, but just more than Malaysia and China due to added Wacky Races 'entertainment'.
