Formula 1 chit-chat

back to his roots?

Ok, come on chaps, it's only 2 weeks away, lets get talking about who you think will shine this year?

I don't think Schumacher will sweep the board though will get a top 4. I think McLaren will be strong this year having learnt from last year and having two team mates who have together won consecutive championships.

I also think that Mercedes will be contenders for the top three constructors with Ferrari also being in the mix at the top.

Any other thoughts chaps?

Without a doubt we are set for one of the best seasons ever, certainly in my lifetime anyway.

I agree redbull could be up there but so could many others, it's going to go down to the wire this season more than it did last year!

I agree - check my team  - but what do I know?

Bahrain GP - Free Practice 1

Di Grassi only did an installation lap

Senna did an installation lap, then much later, just at the end of practice an out lap, crossed the line onto his flying lap just before the flag, but didn't complete it as he went into the pits.

Chandhok - err, they are still building him a car.

Bahrain GP - Free Practice 2

Qualifying

Hmmm, I'm in agreement about it being a bit boring but I think the nature of the track and being so spread out there was no wing to wing racing. I think in a more enclosed track the real racing will take place on the track whereas in the past it's always been in the pits i.e. timings of fuel stops etc.

The McLarens put on a good charge though so I'm happy the brits are looking reasonable. At least the car is closer to the pace this year, only a couple more races and there will be less gap between quite a few teams. I still think it's set to be one of the best seasons for a while.
