Agreed - I didn't think anyone would be able to run side by side through the second sector like F2 did.DarrenM wrote: The track ended up being better than I expected with passes getting done in 4 different spots.

Re: 2020 Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix
That was not a good race to watch on my laptop in bed next to my sleeping wife. I spent half the race desperately trying to stifle squeals and swears.
This season has had some incredible drama hasn't it. What amazing script-writing by the racing gods. Coulthard said about halfway through that Russell was going to cruise to the win and I winced, but I never expected that. And what a story to have Perez get the first win for the team that has sacked him.
You have to feel for Bottas now. I can't see how he can come back from that. I hope Lewis got a reality check too.
Surely Leclerc now been involved in as many incidents as Grosjean had when he got the "first lap nutcase" moniker? Vettel just sounded bitter about it last week but he clearly had a point.

Re: 2020 Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix
When a guy can jump in your car and lead the race, comfortably, it says a lot about the car. It took a massive fuck up to steal the win from him.
Give LeClerc, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Russell, Perez and maybe Vettel, a car that good and no way Lewis has 7 WCs. Possibly still the best driver out there, but made to look so much better by a clearly dominant car.
What is going to be interesting is if he is let back this weekend. Will he be exempt from the 14 day isolation rule? Or is it different in F1?

It showed how important the team was too, which is often overlooked. The best car and best driver can't always win if the team isn't on top of their game. The guys at the track aren't the ones that design the car so there's really 3 main factors.

Mercedes are normally scared of making extra pitstops in races, so it was strange to see them try this one. And of course, they cock it up

All the WC are sewn up. Can't be making Lewis look bad.

Netflix were in their garage for that race. They seem to curse whichever team they're following!

Re: 2020 Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix
I don't know how much say the teams have in what they can film but I think they got off pretty lightly from the Hockenheim episode last year. I suppose they can't make the big teams look too bad.
