The top 3-4 people where on soft tires where the rest were not.

P2 is on now

MB 1-2. Looking racy. Any Intel on tires and fuel load? Q3, must...wait... am I going to have to eat my words????

FP1: Ricciardo tops first practice in Bahrain as 2024 F1 season officially kicks off

Winning practice, which means NOTHING.

Reminds of my customers who like to tell me how they won the MS150 charity ride they just did.

But, hey, at least it shows the car can go fast for a bit. I'd love to see DR do well this season.

Hulkenberg ahead of Perez, so meh.

Long runs more telling. Max scary consistent.

The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned.

Ages fast.

I) Horner exonerated by internal "investigation"

II) 80 texts etc leaked in retaliation

III) Stink fails to go away?

IV) Out before the Euro business leg of the season commences?

 

[scott43]

I wouldn't count on it. Possible though. Anonymous, in this day that may be enough.

 

[scott43]

Qualifying in 15 mins! And I'm in covid protocol and will watch every minute!! Muwahahaha!!

I want to see Alonso top 3. Anyone else have favoured outcomes???

 

[cantunamunch]

Hah! MB sandbagging? Piastri is the one I was hoping would do better.

 

[scott43]

MB it would appear are simply sandbags.. I read one former driver saying the car just looked too difficult to drive quickly. Someone else said there were murmurs of hidden performance. Driver always right?

 

[scott43]

Hulk with a flyer.. arrivederci Guenther??

 

[scott43]

Pretty much as last year. Alpine is awful. Sargeant is not doing himself any favours..

 

[Dwight]

New year, same shit. Race for 2nd.

I feel like it will be closer... But clear favourite I think. Good on Russell getting into third although I think Alonso has some tricks up his sleeve yet.

The part that was really astonishing me was when KMag posted the same time as Piastri in S1.

 

[scott43]

They keep talking long pace.. has Ferrari managed its tire wear issue? MB?

I am trying to remember who it was that said all the golden eras we remember were *actually* eras of one sided dominance. Schumacher Vettel Ham and now Max.

Half the people love a dynasty.. especially if they're casual fans. Isn't Senna Prost more exciting?

Exactly.

One does wonder how many anti-Maxxers were proLance '99-'06.
