2010 Bahrain Grand Prix

Man, this Sebastian Vettel is driving a literal spaceship 🙏 🙏 he's just insane 🙏
I mean, honestly, even Ferrari isn't looking bad 😳 🤣

The time gap is massive.

Fernando Alonso completely ruined the flow of traffic just for one damn tenth...

God, I hate Button

But honestly, looking back at Schumacher still hits me right in the feels

Vettel

So Mike decided to come check out Hamilton's McLaren 🤣 🤣

stormybadger8 has finally popped the champagne 🤣😂

Which basically means he’s going to dominate several world championships in a row. 🙏

🙂It's a clear Red Bull 1-2 finish.

Who knows, right? 😁

Vettel 🙏 is a second faster than Webber. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

By the way, the magnificent and mister 6 tenth of a second gap is looking a bit weak compared to his No. 2 teammates at McLaren. 🤣

This is brutal... I'm not even sure what to make of it. Honestly, I doubt this matters much right now. It’ll all come down to how those tires hold up once the fuel load drops...

Because if we see gaps like this during the actual race, we're going to end up with just three cars fighting for it at the end.

It's over.

Schumacher checked out the MP4-25 and weighed the field against the top 10.

The title belongs to us.

Thank you, great Michael.🙏

Schumacher checked the monitors just to see how much everyone else was struggling... he looks absolutely livid 🤣

These massive gaps we're seeing in Q3 are strange. It’s possible some teams dialed in their setups for a full fuel load, hoping to have a bit more bite right after the lights go out tomorrow. 🤷

I mean, give me a break—they were out there grinding on the track while he was just sitting back, soaking up his retirement fund in some sunny corner of the States.😁

Hey there, fellow racing fans. Thanks for sending over that livestream link (honestly, I'm so done with ski season...)
Big congrats to Vettel.👍 Massa taking the No. 2 spot means things are going to get heated at the start tomorrow. I guess spring is finally here now that the Grand Prix season is kicking off.😍
Schumacher finishing seventh—hey, happy number.😁 Man, this is shaping up to be one hell of a season.

Michael Lee4 said:It's just like Mike showing up to check out Hamilton's McLaren🤣 🤣

That cocky look (just like your avatar), super arrogant, hands tucked in his pockets,

he hasn't changed one bit, but honestly, he’s bothering me a little less these days🤷

Joshua Newman2 said:These massive gaps in Q3 are weird. Maybe someone dialed in their setup for a full tank just to have better pace once the race starts tomorrow. 🤷

I hope so... but honestly, I wonder how much faster they actually are on a full load if they're this slow on empty. 🤔

Michael Schumacher 🙏 🙏 🙏
Robert Kubica 🙏 🙏 🙏
Felipe Massa 🙏 🙏 people keep insisting that Fernando Alonso has already established himself as the alpha here. 😛
Sebastian Vettel 🙏

This Renault car is garbage. Kubica is just going to be stuck driving a junker again.

stormybadger8 said:Sebastian Vettel 🙏🙏Is it just me, or does it feel like he’s actually pulling away from Mark Webber?

If you don't manage to back up that handle of yours with a championship title this season, how am I ever supposed to take you seriously? 😉

Michael Lee4 said:I hope so... though honestly, the real question is how much speed I can actually squeeze out when the tank is full, if they're already this sluggish when empty. 🤔

I was reading an interview recently with one of the constructors—kill me now, I can't recall which one—and the guy was explaining that the weight delta between the start and the end of a race is massive. Apparently, it's virtually impossible to dial in a car so that it maintains perfect balance throughout the entire distance. So, if you have to pick a specific window where the car will be at its absolute peak, those tactical shifts might just explain why we see such massive gaps during The Finals. We'll find out for sure tomorrow, though.

And he still ended up trailing Massa by three and a half tenths.🤣>
