Yes the races this year so far are unpredictable and that doesn't look like it will change soon! So much are the tyres playing a role that Raikkonen almost won the race from 11 having saved 2 new sets of tyres (he only did 6 laps for the entire qualifying - basically 2 flyers) whilst most others had to do 12 or more laps). We may start people intentionally skipping Q3 to save tyres but lets hope Bahrain was an extreme case!Thaddeus wrote:Pretty exciting race, which is weird for Bahrain.
I voted for Raikkonen. Great drive from 11th, and showed Lotus' cunning to do so much work on high fuel running.
If I'd had a second vote it would've gone to di Resta. The two stop strategy was not the optimal one but he made it work and got a great sixth.
McLaren need to sort their pit problems. With a title race this close that could end up costing them one or both titles.
Last but not least, I listened online to coverage, and (for the first time) had the pleasure of enjoying our very own Editor's live updates, which was quicker than the BBC's radio coverage.
Our coverage of the Bahrain race was done in less than ideal circumtances and hopefully we'll do better for Spain but thanks for your comments and surprised that we were quicker than the BBC who have a wealth of resources!
