Hamilton called it with his crew...
Solid result for RB today. Well done on 2nd and 3rd. Good result for McLaren too and great to see them fighting for 3rd in the wdc. Ferrari who? Omg we were nowhere today. But the big winner today was Gro. To be walking this Earth is the biggest achievement of the GP and the most important highlight of this weekend.
On race pace we are more than 2 seconds/lap slower than the Mercedes. Really doubt the new engine will be enough next year to reduce the gap.
We have some unknowns for the next race. Different track yet same atmospherics with Bahrain area weather etc.
I hope for improvement with the updated PU, and these races giving Ferrari 'test' data they cannot gather in an other fashion.
Engineering, track operation, strategy, organization.. We are lacking everywhere. Sorry I lost all hope for 2022
We must have some optimism as they adjust to the new season upcoming. This is a capable team in the overall
Well, that was the epitome of a "2020" race. I think we've reached the point where armco barriers are past their "use by" date. We've seen horrific impacts with armco in WRC. Now F1 cars are piercing them. Time for SAFER barriers? Not a happy race to watch. Bad day in black rock. Ferrari fighting its way to the rear, again.
Latest Grosjean update: Grosjean to remain in hospital overnight after Bahrain F1 crash Romain Grosjean will remain in hospital overnight for observation but "feels good" following his crash in Bahrain, according to Haas Formula 1 boss Gunther Steiner. Grosjean was transferred to hospital following a terrifying crash on the opening lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix when his Haas F1 car was torn into two parts after hitting the barrier exiting Turn 3. The Frenchman was able to escape the wreckage despite a large fire being sparked and the monocoque being embedded in the guard rail, and was quickly met by medical staff. Haas confirmed soon after the accident that Grosjean had sustained slight burns to his hands and ankles, and was being taken to hospital with a suspected broken rib. Team boss Steiner gave an update following the race to say that he had spoken with Grosjean and he was in good spirits, believing that he had not broken any bones, but confirmed the Frenchman would be staying in hospital overnight. "I just spoke with him on the phone, he's in a clear state of mind, he's good," Steiner said on Sky Sports F1. "He's still staying in the hospital overnight, they want to keep him there. But he told me and not the doctor, he feels good, it seems nothing is broken. "He's got his hands bandaged from the burns, but otherwise he said he has no burns or nothing. He was very upbeat, I would say, so very happy." Steiner confirmed that Grosjean's physio was quick to get in contact with his wife, updating him on his condition, and that he had spoken to his son in the aftermath of the crash. "His physio was in contact with his wife straightaway," Steiner said. "They know each other very well, so he was in contact and they gave him the news. I tried to call, but you can imagine these people are so busy. "When I called him before, he was on the telephone with his son, I was told, so that's good. I think it's all under control." Steiner refused to dwell on any possibility of needing to replace Grosjean for the final two races, saying he would be keen to drive so long as he is fit enough to do so. "Knowing him, he wants to be back, but we'll see that tomorrow when they take the bandages off because he has no idea what they look like," Steiner said. "For me at the moment, the only good thing is, nothing bad happened. For sure it wasn't good, but he's safe, he's healthy. "The rest we'll see tomorrow when we speak with the doctors." Asked what the back-up plan would be if Grosjean was not fit, Steiner replied: "I don't want to speak about the back-up plan. The back-up plan is to have Romain in if he's alright to do it." https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/153842/grosjean-to-remain-in-hospital-overnight-after-crash Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date
Grosjean has a new name... it's called Lazarus... The moment I saw the accident, I was sure he was gone. Later, checking the video for 53 times, I recognized the labor of the all auxiliary helpers and himself; if he was unconscious, he will be dead today.
You knew F1 thought he was gone when they cut away from the wreckage immediately after the flames erupted.
