And the longest Grand Prix name ever award goes to... this one.

This never seems to happen in F1. Just because driver A beat driver B a certain number of years ago and now driver B is beating driver C, it doesn't necessarily mean you can simply rank the drivers. Take your nuance elsewhere! It isn't welcome here! :twisted: In all seriousness, there is definite m...

Stroll - Stroll was quicker all weekend while Vettel it seems struggles to settle into the team but more disconcerting continues to make silly mistakes. However Vettel managed to score more points than Stroll albeit 5 penalty points on his license as opposed to Stroll's 1 WDC point. This bit in bol...

I am confused by the almost unanimous conclusion here that Max is the best qualifier on the grid. He has a total of 4 pole positions after 120 entries. He also has ten wins which says to me that that his race day performance is more than twice as good as his qualifying performance. Max did not take...

I do have to say that I am a little surprised at how close the gap between Max and Lewis based on the models/numbers, given the differing circumstances for large portions of their time together on the grid. I have to wonder whether there have been a reasonable number of races over the last 6/7 year...

Should Honda/Red Bull be a bit worried? That’s three of their four cars having some sort of engine problem over the course of the weekend. Could be precautionary of course but brining the 2022 engine forward by a whole year was always going to be risky. Also, should we be taking what Marko says with...

Poker - what do you do if one driver gets knocked out in Q2 and the other Q3? Do you use both Q2 times or the Q2 time for the one who got knocked out and Q3 time for the other?

I'm going into this much depth as I was just so surprised that he got the official driver of the day vote Pretty much any driver of a top team who starts/ends up at the back and makes their way back to the top 5/6 always do well in the official driver of the day vote. It isn’t a surprising thing. W...

After one qualifying session, here is a very early look at how the lineups compare to the model predictions: LECLERC / SAINZ Projected: 0.386% to 0.542% (Leclerc) Result (Q3): 0.595% (Leclerc) VERSTAPPEN / PEREZ Projected: 0.385% - 0.544% (Verstappen) Result (Q2): 0.376% (Verstappen) NORRIS / RICCI...

I still think Norris did an excellent job but the gap to Ricciardo is probably partly explained by damage that Ricciardo received from Gasly: https://racingnews365.com/mclaren-confi ... asly-clash

Austria last year was good but that was heavily influenced by the safety car, so when was the last season opener as good as this?

Anyone know what the two extra trophies Mercedes have in this photo are? Obviously, P1, P3 and constructors but didn’t see the podium properly to see if the other two were given there.

Hard to judge how good Ferrari are, but Sainz just seemed ok at best this race. He made a questionable move on Stroll where he literally rubbed his car on Strolls for several seconds while trying to recover from his bad launch. A bit of a gentle push and shove. I don't think there was any effective...

Bahrain Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton opened his quest for a record breaking eighth world title by winning a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix. Max Verstappen trailed Hamilton home by less than a second with Valtteri Bottas finishing in third place. Verstappen led away from pole position and led Hamilton fo...

https://i.imgur.com/qReCIaC.png Source - Imgur I disagree. He drove well but with the best car the progress he achieved was rather ordinary. It’s the typical driver in front running car being at the back and getting back to where the car should be by overtaking a load of slower cars. As I’ve said b...

Another two penalty points for Vettel. Five in the course of a day.

JN23

Oh jeez.

JN23

Hamilton, Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, Tsunoda the contenders for me.

JN23

hehe verstappen would rather have had a 5 second penalty and thought he could make that up had he stayed ahead. Which is incredibly unsporting of him. And Hamilton abusing track limits all race isn't? Can't blame Lewis for doing it if it's not being enforced. But it's enforced as soon as Horner get...

JN23

Must be a bit gutting for Max that Lewis goes off the track for most of the race then as soon as Red Bull mention it to Max, race control impose track limits eventually costing him the race! They said what Lewis was doing would be fine but if going off track caused an advantage in racing then they’...

Brilliant race, strategy, wheel to wheel racing. Superb from Hamilton and Verstappen.

JN23

So, are they ignoring track limits again? Yep. Was announced its only being policed in practice/qualifying. It's pathetic. This is a sport that can DQ a car for having a piece of bodywork 1mm too big, but teams can gain significantly more of a time advantage by not sticking to the circuit. Although...

Odd to pit Bottas...

Obviously a disaster with what happened but would love to know the logic. Trying to push Red Bull into pitting?

JN23

Are Mercedes being super aggressive, struggling with tyre wear or a bit of both?

Goodness, I got rather emotional myself at the end of that tribute to Murray. What a man.

A lovely tribute, really well done from Brundle.

New energy store and control electronics for Perez. Same as Gasly yesterday.

Five place drop and three penalty points for Vettel for ignoring double waved yellows yesterday.

No previous points so 3/12 for Vettel.

How many places will Max lose off the line? Or have Red Bull fixed that weakness?

They were pretty good last season weren't they? I don't seem to remember Verstappen's starts being poor last season with the exception of Turkey which was probably down to the weird conditions/track surface.

I wonder if Lundgaard took his penalty during his pitstop he's shown as second place.
He's shown in 9th now.

And back to second: https://twitter.com/formula2/status/137 ... 55392?s=21
