2019 Bahrain Grand Prix (March 29-31)

Ha ha, are you sleeping soundly, TBD? Are you getting a good night's rest, Sebastian Vettel?

Good grief. I honestly thought we wouldn't see this coming until we hit FC Barcelona, yet here we are. It’s happening already.

Bye bye, Sebastian Vettel 🤣, I’m really hoping Max can give Mercedes-Benz a run for their money tomorrow.

McLaren absolutely crushed qualifying 😍, and I think they’re finally ready to step up their game this season. Formula 1 needs McLaren back at the top where they belong.

A star is born. Way to go, Charles 😁

Well done, kid 👋

Man, I really thought we wouldn't be talking about this until the FC Barcelona race—but apparently, things are moving way faster than anyone anticipated.

😁

We’ll just have to wait and see how Sebastian Vettel handles the start tomorrow. I’ve got a bad feeling he’s going to pull one of his classic dirty moves at the expense of his teammate. It wouldn't be the first time he uses his elbows to force his way through, leaving his own teammate stuck further back on the grid just because he can't help being selfish.

I’d honestly love to know what gear that kid is running; if I could get my hands on it, I definitely would. xD He’s absolutely wild. 😍 I fuckin adore that guy.

Sebastian Vettel’s guarantee totally fell through. Now we're just sitting here waiting on Tibias to weigh in and explain what actually happened.

Charles Leclerc says the "car was amazing"! 🙏
Ferrari looks solid so far, I guess.

Charles Leclerc clearly has way more confidence in the car than he did back in Australia; you can see it in every single braking zone.

Basically, you're hoping Charles Leclerc does to him exactly what he used to do to Weber👍 with the full blessing of Ferrari👍

Pierre Gasly: "The engine performance is solid, though we're significantly slower than previous sessions. It’s impressive." 🕺

Man’s driving like he’s on rails👍
Especially through that final corner.

Hopefully he won't need to rely on those points from the last race to make up the difference.😬

If Charles Leclerc actually pulls off the championship this year, you have to realize just how much trouble Max Verstappen is going to be in. XD They were born only ten days apart. 😬

Red Bull is performing terribly here; Max is barely managing to stay ahead of the rest of the midfield.

Max Verstappen?
Who the hell is Max Verstappen?😛

I honestly think we’re going to see Charles become the youngest champion out there before this Dutch Mamalaz even gets his hands on another one. xD

He won't win—mostly because Ferrari isn't capable of staying consistent without sabotaging themselves through questionable strategy decisions mid-season.

stormyviper2 said:XD Only a 10-day age gap. 😬

It's actually 16 days.

As someone who’s been a die-hard Hamilton supporter through thick and thin, I have to say—this might be one of his best qualifying performances in years. It feels like we’re finally seeing the payoff from all those Newey titles—that moment where someone actually manages to outsmart him while sitting in the exact same car, without all the constant excuses about an "incompetent Ferrari" or those endless fairy tales about the dominance of the Mecca

I’m really pulling for the kid to take the championship this year; I've got everything crossed, fingers and toes included. 😍
