I’m only looking for Renault on that podium😍

We’re looking at a dominant performance from Lotus here. I’m calling it now: we should see a fight for a second win for Kimi Räikkönen, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Romain Grosjean fighting his way into the top five as well. ☕

Man... Asti...TiBi kicks off the thread—plus we've got that blue beauty aiming for the pat... McLaren on the podium, and who knows, maybe we'll even see some snow 🙏🙏🙏

I’m expecting a beast of a Ferrari and Lotus—but an RB and Mercedes that look pretty thin—so honestly, the McLarens might actually have a shot at being good during the race

If that’s what you call a "blue beauty," then I guess I'm just some "green Martian." 🙏

By the way—GO Felipe GO! 🎉👋

I’m asking the moderators to please strip "multi21" from the title.

A thread regarding an active race should be free from mockery, sarcasm, and other nonsense.
Why invite a circus where there hasn't been one before?

Just so you know, finding any girls who actually look the part was a nightmare...
That Bahrain race is a complete disaster when it comes to the piti Babes🙂

As if these kinds of threads actually escape the trolling, mocking, and total nonsense.😁

It’s either the podium or bust—enough with the jokes.

I find the lady in the shot pretty funny—🤷 and by that, I mean the blonde in the background, not the one front and center. 😬 Well, you know what they say about personal taste... 🙂

P.S. Speaking of taste... where's the boss man? 🤣

My comment was about the title, not the content itself. 😁

I finally tracked her down 👋

even if she isn't quite the one—she's still pretty decent 🤣

generally speaking, there are some good ones out in Bahrain... they just tend to stay under the radar 🙂

those Bahraini babes 🤣 🤣

as if we could just find some white Senegalese guy out of nowhere 🤣 😬

EDIT: rain didn't change a thing ☕

Why did you even bother starting this thread? xD
I honestly thought my old man and I were the only ones allowed to start threads here.
And just a heads-up, don't get your hopes up about seeing Red Bull on the podium, because Ferrari is going to absolutely tear them apart.😁

I'm honestly gonna wait until the first practice session before I trust any forecasts

Basically, I have this gut feeling the tires are gonna be even more sensitive than they were in China, which means everyone's gonna be in total chaos

Then again, three pit stops isn't the end of the world...

Just a quick side note on the opening post: Bernie didn't actually run out of cash back in 2011. The Sheikh basically brushed it off, saying there was no need to sweat over such a minor detail...

I doubt RB will be struggling. Their downforce is solid, and this track is brutal—both on the tires and the brakes. They'll likely adapt faster than anyone else. We might see 3 or 4 pit stops; I really don't see a 2-stop strategy working here. Because of that, I wouldn't count on Lotus repeating last year's run.

RB and Ferrari could easily sweep the podium. 😁

We'll just have to wait and see...

Yeah, I'm with you there. Honestly, tire deg might actually be even more of a headache in Bahrain than in China because those temps are just brutal 🙏

Which compound are they running?

They're planning to run the Soft (yellow) and Hard (orange) tires in Bahrain, though there’s some chatter about swapping the Softs out for Mediums instead. The wind is still going to be pretty gnarly out there—plus, expect plenty of sand kicked up. 😁
