By the time they get to F1, they've been wearing helmets for years. Yes, but they could be in F1 for 10 years or more. Everything changes once they get to F1. New personal sponsors, etc. Is there no other way to identify a driver? Well, the helmet is the only bit we see when they're driving. Yes, t...

Williams have released a statement to say he's in hospital but in a stable condition. No more details given.

Let's hope he's going to be OK.

I think it's important to note that some of us wishing for screaming V10s back are not wanting races to be unbearably loud. You can have high revving, exciting sounding engines that are suitably silenced to allow for a lack of earplugs. It's about tone. LIke supercars on the road. Some sound far bet...

Maybe there needs to be another way to identify the driver in the car more easily. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a driver to get a helmet designed on day 1 and keep it forever.

By the time they get to F1, they've been wearing helmets for years.

There's nothing to hate about Hamilton, one might question his selflessness given his comments post Abu Dhabi regarding his lack of fitness...

Whilst I have no evidence to say if it was consensual or not, the fact she said it was, is not 100% proof in itself. If she is saying that it is then it's is, do you not understand what consent is?

He's already made the excuse post qually saying he wasn't 100% So, you're saying that's an excuse, rather than a reason because the difference between excuse and reason is significant.

Amazing, the big advantage from these days is you can speak to the person next to you when attending a race and you don’t have a massive headache afterwards. Having attended races of the V10s, V8s and hybrids - while nothing compares to the spectacle of hearing the V10 go by, for a 90 minute race t...

OK, so I'm probably getting old, but I am bored with drivers constantly changing their helmet design. What's happened to getting a helmet that is unique to you and sticking to it throughout your time in motorsport? Now, I've no problem with slight changes to support #WeRaceAsOne or even messages of ...

The problem I still have with both VSC (which I think is a serious improvement over the use of the Spectacle Car) and SC, is that their use undermines the respect drivers ought to have for yellow flags. To my old-fashioned mindset, yellow flags as used in the 1980s are quite enough as a safety meas...

Whilst I'm in general agreement about the misuse of the Safety Car in recent years, I actually thought it was used correctly in this instance. Personally I don't like seeing marshals running on the track, particularly onto the racing line as in this instance, without the race being neutralised and ...

Very little, but my point was that in the two F2 races, there were passes without the need for DRS, despite all the DRS enabled passing. Of course aero wake existed before the introduction of the wings! That's precisely what the drivers exploited in the 1960s (and earlier) on long straights. What d...

Any idea whether my DRS-allergy is going to knock me out or not? (I don't mean the F2 race was one, you clearly enjoyed it.) DRS could make today's race into one of those they had in Monza during the 60's. However, at least there was plenty of passing and near passes without the use of DRS. Did dow...

Well, Russel's post-race interview is dignified and he's thanking his team and praising Sergio. Such a contrast to Tictum earlier today.

Where is the "neither nor" option?

As my question said that 'If only one race is to happen in Bahrain', this makes neither nor, not an option. Simple!

What if the stewards deem Perez to be at fault for that incident though? I mean, i think he was partly responsible, but the stewards do vary their view sometimes. I would certainly blame leclerc mostly though. :lol: How could anyone not blame Stroll last week for not leaving any space but hold Pere...

At least two people saying how good the race was, when in actual fact it was a farce.

The comedy set the stage for some good racing, but don't forget this was essentially a "novelty race".

"Random Sprinklers" anyone ?

Ignoring the Mercedes mistakes, why was it a novelty?

Asphalt_World

Why are the commentators not mentioning just how good this drive was? From last place to the win. They will in time. But you can't ignore the WDC and WCC winning team making such massive mistakes, a safety car changing things a lot, plus what I believe was a puncture. All of these things made a hug...

Not bad for a Saturday driver!

So, although I enjoy the normal layout used in Bahrain, I would personally like to see the outer circuit used next year as it's great to watch and adds variety to the sport. If only one race is to happen in Bahrain, which circuit layout would you want to be used?

Wont even walk away with any points as a consolation. Gutted for Russel.
he might get 1 point for FL though

That can't happen unless he also scores a championship point.

I can't feel any pleasure in Perez winning, although I will in time. It just feels so bad.

I feel rather sick.

If Russell can get withing DRS range with two laps to go, he will win.
