2019 F1 Championship - Round 2 - Bahrain Grand Prix

Engineer: "How is the front wing?"
Kimi: "I dunno, you tell me"

Dan up to 6th after starting 10th. Good effort. Probably the highest position he can get in this race.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Nice quiet race from here for Daniel hopefully.

 

[Boxhead_31]

ADR done well to get around everyone without taking any damage

 

[Quokka]

Yep 6th and clear air in front of him, next car behind 2 seconds and a spacer to his team mate. Dan have to be happy enough with where he's at so far.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Midfield fight has been great so far

 

[Quokka]

Hulk in and was only ~ 1.5s behind Dan, interesting to see how that plays out

 

[Boxhead_31]

ADR must be going to try the one stop going this long

 

[juice t]

Crofty can't even ******* tell the difference between ADR and the Hulk

Hamilton struggling on 2nd set of softs, meanwhile Danny Ricc still cruising around on his 1st.

At the cost of 5 seconds a lap.

One stop strategy was a big fail.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

This 1 pitstop strategy isn’t going to work for Dan. He will be on old mediums in the final few laps with everyone on new softs.

 

[Boxhead_31]

What the hell is Crofty on tonight?

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Lol I love seeing back markers unlap themselves against Max!

 

[Quokka]

Hulkenberg is driving well but is Ricciardo's problem really a case of 'making his own luck' or more the team making the wrong strategy call with the one stop?

Just wrong strategy. He would still be in front of Hulk if it was a two stopper where he swapped his boots when everyone else was.

 

[Quokka]

Anyone switching to softs now are going to have some old tires by the end of the race. Hulkenberg on mediums so maybe a pretty even team battle for the Renaults, even if Dan's are older.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Vettel just can't do it anymore

 

[Forward Press]

All hail Charles Leclerc, next Ferrari world champion.

 

[Boxhead_31]

With this strategy call Dan will be doing well to get any points at all

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Danny Ricc might as well put on fresh softs.

That would be pointless. You're losing 20 seconds with 10 laps to go on a small circuit, and then you have to overtake.

 

[Forward Press]

omg Ferrari breaking down.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Ferrari motor has gone kapput for LeClerc

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Geez Hamilton gets lucky. Going to win this race.
