Bahrain GP 2010 - BIC

[WhiteBlue]

Yeah, I read DC adds his voice to the chorus. He advises backmarkers that driving slowly on the racing line is dangerous. He should know considering he did it in Spa in heavy rain 1998.

well ,life is short ,but still there is time enough to develop a serious brainfade...

funny Schumacher took the opposite stance in welcoming the new entries and
acknowledged the effort they have put in...so everything counts..you don´t win championships with too many enemies (if your name is not Senna ,A.)

[monkeyboy1976]

Regarding the Grand Prix this weekend, I am not convinced at all by the additional twisty section to the circuit. I am not sure how this will promote overtaking. Seems pointless to me.

[marcush.]

did Chandhok realise how many sets of tyres (4 )he will have for the friday and that he will if the car is totally reliable amass some 3 hours of running till the end of
the first day...I´d say Virgin has a ironed out perfectly sorted package compared to them.this weekend

Backmarkers Dangerous! what a load of tosh!

I'm looking forward to seeing plenty of cars getting lapped again! =D>

The new section of track is practically devoid of any downforce, it's all mechanical grip as the cars only go over 100 mph only going into and coming out. It could set up a pass, but no one will because the hair pin after the section is definitely not conducive to passing, however the next hair pin is.

I'm looking forward to Schumi's start.

If you're on the left, cut right when the lights go off, if you're on the right, cut left...

It's going to make the Webber's so called aggressive starts look girly.

4 Days to go.

Woo flippin' hoo. Let's go racing.

Ferrari have apparently brought their gilled sidepod.
Wasn't this supposed to be against the rules? Why bring it?

[Vasco]

Are they not a similar adaptaion to the Sauber/Mclaren louvres?

[gibells]

No because those louvres are within the allowed zone around the cockpit. As far as I understand the F10's louvres are in the 75mm radius area, so I can't quite see how they expect them to be legal.

[ISLAMATRON]

because they are cheaters

[chapmanlung]

what is your problem?

[Pandamasque]

Get used to it

PS: I'd like a more technical explanation though.
