Incredible...the Sky announcer just said that McLaren was THE fastest car through the corners in China and are so here in Bahrain. I had no idea that was true. The McLaren chassis has incredible grip, but just no power he said.

Why can't all the McLaren haters here this news???

Herb Tarlik

incredible pass from Hammy.

Herb Tarlik

Bottas does not have to stop again, Vettel does. Different strategies at play.

Herb Tarlik

Hey! Alonso picked up a few positions.

Is Merc on a one or two pit stop strategy?

Stroll out.

Herb Tarlik

Very slow stop for Kimi.

Herb Tarlik

Did his brakes overheat in the pits??

Herb Tarlik

Wow.....Max is out!!!

Herb Tarlik

Ferrari are going for a 2 stop race. Lots of strategy to watch here.

Herb Tarlik

Vettel pits!!!

Herb Tarlik

Anyone know why the rear tyres are overheating?

There's going to be massive braking if he tries that. It will be intense.

Herb Tarlik

Hamilton not dropping back. At all. He's keeping up with the first two cars so far.

Yeah, I'm not seeing DRS helping much against the Mercedes. They have enormous power in the straights.

Herb Tarlik

Kimi ran off the road, losing more time to Massa.

Herb Tarlik

Kimi has already lost 2 positions.

You got to feel for Alonso and Vandoorne. This is poor.

Absolutely. That's why I am so happy for Alonso to go to Indy. He has to escape this Honda hell hole that he is stuck in.

Sad, another Honda engine catastrophe.

Herb Tarlik

15 minutes before start and Alonso's car is still in the garage. McLaren must be furiously working up to the last minute.

Edit: Not Alonso's car....it's just on his side of the garage. His teammate may not start. Major problems with the Honda engine (big surprise).

Herb Tarlik

Honda has no idea why Alonso's engine failed. It could have been the heat, the sand, whatever, they dont know. Alonso's new engine will be run uncalibrated and to improve survivability, will be detuned rather significantly so that it does not blow up. How Alonso has the fortitude to sit in front of...

Great....i just found out that in the US the race is on CNBC...a channel I dont have.

Sooooo....off to find another way to watch the race.

Herb Tarlik

Do teams higher lap dogs for Alonso or does his superiority make them lap dogs. For 9 seasons of his career he's partnered drivers who have been with the team longer than him. So I refute the idea teams some how go out and higher number 2's. In fact he has driven alongside 4 world champions and a v...

Herb Tarlik

Another blown Honda engine. Alonso now has to go the rest of the 2017 season with 2 engines.

Herb Tarlik

Upper seats in J are great seats... the key is the word UPPER! The Indy veterans say that you should never buy a seat that does not have double letters.. ie Row BB or CC or such. J is just on the exit of Turn 4 as they head to the start finish line. You will be able to see the cars dive into turn 3...

Herb Tarlik

I wish I didn't have a previous commitment, as I would have loved to join you all. Suggestion: park in downtown Indy and take one of the shuttle buses over to the track on race day. The cost is minimal compared to track side parking... even those a mile away...and the traffic is not your worry as t...

Herb Tarlik

This looks to me as one of the worst decisions in strings of bad decisions Alonso made. Monaco could be the one of the precious few real chances for Mclaren to score well. Alonso does not know oval racing by experience, and he has no experience in battles and customs of Indy 500. Remember when Sato...

Herb Tarlik

Same here, except only one ticket and I don't have a son. I'll be in upper grandstand J - no idea if that's a good seat or not, but I wanted a corner and it was available! :lol: Should be an interesting contrast, since I'll be seeing F1 in Montreal not long after. Upper seats in J are great seats.....

Herb Tarlik

I just bought two tickets to the Indy 500! All because Alonso is going to be at the race this year. Thank you Fred! Me and my son will be sitting right in turn 1!

Herb Tarlik

From the "Would you have watched F1 in the past" thread I was lead to led to believe that without risk there is no reward. Yet now everyone is fearing for Fernandos life? Yes, high speed oval racing is dangerous but not significantly more so than any other form of top level Motorsport. There's a co...

Herb Tarlik

I'm gob smacked, first of all it shows a lack of commitment to the F1 project, secondly racing on a super speedway is far more dangerous than F1, Alonso could get injured. This reminds me a bit of Kubica's rallying exploits which finished his F1 career. However with Alonso in the field it's a race ...

Herb Tarlik

Incredible news! Absolutely astonishing.

Good for Fred. Putzing around with that Honda engine has to be beyond demoralizing for him. Indy is only 4 hours from my home. I may try to attend this year's race all because of him!

Herb Tarlik

I fail to see how this would help at all, the only good thing about it is that it looks better than the Halo. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/128914/f1-cockpit-hield-concept-revealed Well unless something goes through this piece of plastic (?), it will deflect whatever is coming away fr...

Herb Tarlik

I ask you what is the true performance, the few races were he looks good or the majority were he looks second rate? well clearly true performance is when everything is set up just the way a driver likes it so he can just concentrate on going as fast as possible without fighting the behaviour of the...

Herb Tarlik

So Kimi and Seb get your vote?. The still just meant you could have them quite low individually but still etc..More in spite off rather than no change if you see what I mean. Last year I think I had the McLaren boys topping it. End of the season I'd have gone for Mercedes or Red Bull though I expec...

Herb Tarlik

These cars are good, but overtaking is a problem. I don't agree. Verstappen, Vettel, Grosjean, a good number of drivers proving yesterday that you can overtake in these cars. What it does require is decisiveness, agressiveness. That is not a bad thing at all and if we see overtakings like yesterday...
