COMPLIMENT: Pierre Gasly finished 4th, Kevin Magnussen 5th, and the NC results were: Kimi Räikkönen, Daniel Ricciardo, and Valtteri Bottas

Bottas set the fastest lap of the race: 1:33.740
and the fastest pit stop: 24.302 - Lewis Hamilton
Last year, Sebastian Vettel clocked his pole lap at 1:27.958

ACTION ZONES:

Turn one.


Remember that crash between Pastor Maldonado and Gutierrez at the fourth corner back in 2014?

Fourth corner.

Back in 2013—Sergio Perez and Jenson Button were constantly battling it out during that race. This was just one of those moments.

image

ninth and tenth corner 2005

Back in 2005, Michael Schumacher loses control for a second during the race. That particular section of the track is notoriously brutal; the braking point for the tenth corner actually sits right in the middle of the ninth.

Weather forecast:

Friday—mostly sunny.
High of 81°F, low of 70°F.

Saturday—partly cloudy.
High of 82°F, low of 70°F.

Sunday - Partly cloudy
High of 88°F, low of 72°F.

The dust hasn't even settled from Albert Park yet, and we're already heading to Bahrain for round two of the 2019 championship. That scorching wasteland of a track has always been an unmatched challenge, but with the night race setup, it feels a bit more manageable for the drivers.

Even though we had a pretty good idea of how things would shake out in Australia, the weekend still delivered some slight disappointments alongside a few bright spots. For instance, Honda actually surprised everyone by finally grabbing a win—their first time on top since the 2008 British GP when Rubens Barrichello pulled it off. On the flip side, Ferrari really fell short due to some questionable reliability issues. Ricciardo didn't seem to show any real pace, though maybe he's just still struggling to get acclimated. Pierre Gasly might be the biggest disappointment of the bunch, which leads to all that speculation about whether Kvyat might take his spot. Honestly, it's all just guesswork right now. It’s probably better to wait until the first actual race on a permanent track before we try to draw any real conclusions.

The Bahrain GP didn't disappoint during this new V6 era, so I'm really hoping we get another exciting performance out of them.

Honestly, we should probably just boycott this entire thread because of those threats.

This thread shouldn't even be here; the official race discussion thread is going to be opened by Gregory Brown94, so can we please just get this deleted already!!!

Gregory Brown94 has been officially designated as the one to kick off the GP thread, so honestly, anyone ignoring that should probably be penalized for insubordination and flagged as a troll.

Cheers,

Gregory Brown94 was crowned the official thread starter for the GP—any disrespect here should be treated as straight-up insubordination and flagged as trolling.

Best,
darkmarlin16

Preach!

You've got my full backing—which basically means you have the support of the entire subforum at this point.

Where are all the ladies at? XD A thread just doesn't feel right without some women joining the conversation. xD

Haha. 🤣 Someone should probably start a thread for Monza 😬

Besides, why is there zero visual material in this thread? 🤨 Just a small contribution to help save what can be saved:

Regarding "tomorrow's" race, I'm expecting another DNF Ricciardo—when it rains, it pours, I guess. 🙃

Ricciardo just absolutely found his rhythm and picked up a massive chunk of time; honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up on the podium. xD

But honestly, Ricciardo might actually have a beast of a weekend and absolutely tear through the midfield. 😉 I wouldn't even be surprised if he did.

Honestly, I don't see him outperforming Nico Hülkenberg—🤷 so maybe P6 for Hulk and P7 for Daniel Ricciardo at best, since they can't really touch the top five given they're a full lap down.🤷

(Pierre Gasly isn't even in the conversation for me; he'd actually surprise me if he managed to finally get past Daniil Kvyat by the time we hit the Bahrain Grand Prix.)
