Re: 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
Does FP start on Thursday and Qualifying Friday? Anyways my hot take for the weekend, Ferrari to get pole Yes, this week's race and next week's race in Jeddah are both starting one day earlier than usual (Thursday - Saturday instead of Friday - Sunday). Jeddah is pushed back because of a conflict w...

Re: Your Favourite Bahrain Grand Prix
Yeah gotta agree with 2014. I expect that to be the run away leader here. Some great options to choose from (since it became a night race) Almost certainly nothing to do with it being a night race but it's as if the change from day to night changed this from a pretty dull race to a race that usuall...

Re: Your Favourite Bahrain Grand Prix

I've gone for 2014. Incredibly tight racing, the first moment between what would go on to become an iconic team mate rivalry.
2022 was also very good but not quite on the same level

Re: How Many Races Will Red Bull Win in 2024?
They looked in an even stronger position this year than last after testing - and they won every race bar 1 last year. I've gone for a red bull clean sweep

Re: 2024 F1 Pre-Season Testing Thread
I know we’re likely not going to be in for a very competitive season, but shouldn’t Red Bull be applauded for taking quite a big risk with a heavily revised concept?

Re: 2024 F1 Pre-Season Testing Thread
Shows you how stale everything is for 2024 that I've been watching testing on Sky for an hour this morning and thus far they've only talked about things that might happen for 2025 rather than 2024. That must be particular to Sky I think. The talk on F1TV is focussed on the technical changes and the...
