2020 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, Nov 27 - 29

Well, he’s good enough for the most wealthy team to put in their car. You know, people who have all the data and get paid to know their stuff.

"Noooooo, dey bick bottas to make a guy they're paying 40 million dollars a year look good" xD

They couldn’t get Alonso back for that? /s

The race results will come for George.

I can't tell if you are trying to be sarcastic or what, but Mercedes is not paying Bottas 8 Million a year to make Hamilton look good. The Daimler board would have heads rolling all over the place for something even 1/10th that expensive.

How was FP2 on Friday long runs guys?

Anything to suggest that Max can fight the Mercs?

There's always the occasional carbon fiber piece stuck in Botta's bargeboard.

Vettel again beating Leclerc when Binotto is not around.

Has Vettel's performances all year been him sulking for being sacked?

The car is better and so Vettel works better. He is not able to drive unstable stable cars. In the race I expect Leclerc to be faster like last time out.

With tires giving up lap times were incredibly close.

Race pace is a bit of an unknown. For example Merc hardly did any race-relevant setup work or long-run work in Friday practice.

Although Merc's qualifying pace was decent, I'm guessing they have once again dialed in more understeer than usual to protect the rear tires.

Red Bull has 2 cars to fight with tomorrow, which they have to be thrilled with. They also have an extra set of the Hard compound tires.

From AMuS:

"Red Bull hopes that the tires will become wild card. During the training sessions, they saved one more set of the Hards than Mercedes . . . . On the other hand, the world champions have had the more tire-friendly car over the distance in the last few races."

If only Claire wouldn't have been such an idiot, it would have been interesting to see him against Hamilton in 2021. It would be great to see him, Max, Leclerc and Norris to go head to head in similar cars.

Perez keeps showing up strong. I really hope he’ll be on the grid next year.

Stop the personal sniping. There will be formal warnings for people that insist in going there.
Fights between posters only breed more animosity.

In case some people are wondering which personal sniping posts we are talking about, they are systematically deleted.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Vettel has always been good around this circuit.

Best race of the season incoming!

Oh f me that was scary.
