Bahrain GP 2013 - Race thread

...This was indeed a race to forget...,

Two of the all four races is already "Race to forget".Soo great.

[Hornet]

It looked easy for Seb because he had clear air, wasnt racing anyone to eat his tyres. If, IF Fernando didnt loose DRS we would been up there making it hard for Seb.

Live to fight another day.

Agree, Vettel did not get any serious fight from Lotus anyway, so they can be conservative. Had Alonso been up there pushing him, who knows what would have happen.

We'll just have to win the next race.

[fratelliferrari]

Yes indeed! The thing I learned on school already is that Germans simply haven't got a good sense of humour...

[stefa]

4 races, 2 nightmares. 5 seasons, 5 bad-mediocre beginnings. You know, I am ready for some dominance.

Me too. Especially I was witness of MS dominant years with Ferrari, and I would rally like to see that happening again all over again. But, I am afraid that something like that will not happen.

[brava]

I hope our share of misfortune for this season is finished

Reverse of last year alonso faster vettel maximising points at the end it will even out. counting 1 stop after the other so had to stretch stints and no drs plus extra stop could have won by 10 or so seconds but didnt. it will come to ferrari.

It is better now than in later stages of championship

If it's possible for Red Bull, why can't we make it happen? It is possible, we just have to make everything right. Not happening for a while tho.

Switching to football. Hoping for better emotions :)

Away from home so haven't watched race. Sounds awful! FA 8? What happened to Felipe?

Gooood for you.

Felipe? Super high tyre deg (pitting on the same lap as other on harder tyres), 2 punctures,...

[Greig]

2 tyre failures.

[anuragiyer8989]

At least we finished one position above last year in Bahrain. I think nando was P9 last year. Getting close in bahrain!

[Aberracus]

Don't kill me but....

So Massa got two flat tires.. But is there any defense for his slow pace?

Is like he doesn't have it anymore.

[Hornet]

Away from home so haven't watched race. Sounds awful! FA 8? What happened to Felipe?

Alonso pit twice due to failed DRS

Massa pit twice due to failed rear tires

Very bad luck day

You're very lucky.

I am not prepared for a 4th Vettel championship

Even when everything is perfectly made, some technical glitches are always possible. Someone can hit you, tire can be sliced, or, who knows what else. RB will experience some kind of bad luck later on in championship, and then there will be less races from RB to get over it!

Me to tennis! Djokovic Vs. Nadal

[LightAmaterasu]

I cannot believe we've had so much bad luck today. Felipe would've been there if there hasn't been two punctures. TWO. Unbelievable.

[brava]

Two tyre failures is a bit extreme

[fratelliferrari]

Iam going to watch cycling: Liege-Bastonge-Liege! But I will be sad for the rest of the day for sure! Eventhough it would be better to move on immediately.

[FA fan]

I hope our share of misfortune for this season is finished

I thought about that after Malaysia!!

I hate the fact that its all about luck for us and about performance for the fools! We had everything going for us....car....drivers.....pitstops.... but luck! Luck will never be with us I guess.

[FerrariF60]

so fernano did 4 stops, then finish with other 3 stoppers , in front of 4 stoppers, it said we didnt have race pace? lol , you guys should watch tv and both live timing, fernando able to push .5 - 1 sec quicker on 2nd and 3rd stint, and if fernando able to use the drs, he can took 5th place...

great recovery from fernando

5th place???? REALLY, that's all you can come up with??? if HE had DRS from the beginning (i.e. without it failing) i think he would have gave Pettel a run for his money...
alonso was simply GOD today....he NEVER gives up...he was simply on FIRE with a wounded car....

vettel had an easy on today...but mark my words, Fernando and Ferrari will get him next time....

I don't know. Vettel is up there for 5th season in the row, whatever the rules are, whatever of banned for them. They just look unbeatable.

I am not counting that as misfortune.

Way to early

i mean, if he can use drs after failed, he can took 5th place after extra pit stops,

if no problem with drs, he can win the race, i m pretty sure about that, and i m with you. please read my comment carefully, i know fernando lap time all stints because im watching the laptimes, he got the pace.
