The Official 2015 Bahrain Grand Prix Thread **Spoilers**

If Kimi can reel in Seb before the last pit stop it will be a very interesting last stint, good to see Nico finaly growing a pair (even if it's not against his team mate yet).

[VolvoT5]

Wow, how quick is Kimi crusing up to Seb here... gap was 16 seconds now it is about 6!

Are they trying to 1 stop Raikkonen? This makes no sense... they have screwed him totally.

That's what I thought but KR is lapping as fast as Hamilton, faster than NR and SV. Bit baffling but could work out.

Blimey, nardo made an anticockup

How did Lewis's 5.4 sec gap disappear in one lap? His total pitlane time was only 0.5 sec down on Nico.

Fresh tyres are so much quicker than worn ones here, merc nearly cocked up

That was a huge undercut wasn't it !

Sure was. Looking forward to the after race analysis to see the lap times.

3 laps worth if you think about it...

almost screwed that up.

Poor Ericsson, was actually having a decent race...

[Adrian W]

Judging unsafe release might be interesting , people have had penalties for bigger gaps

Especially if Kimi is 2 stopping.

Kimi is pushing Lewis is protecting the softer tyres? Merc already told nico it was 10 laps more than planned on this set of softs so they surely have to go easy on them ?

[l354uge]

Like candy from a baby....

[S0 What]

I take it soc 6 (sp?) is more leccy power now to save fuel for later ?

[VolvoT5]

Alonso must be loving this

[Derek Smith]

Is LH going to come in, and if so, before NR?

[Derek Smith]

The lap times for LH will be interesting.

[dtrump]

Nice racing so far

[VolvoT5]

I don't think this strategy will work for Raikkonen, he is going to lose too much time with the 'undercut'.... by the time he catches Vettel at the end his softer tyres will be too worn.

[S0 What]

Vetel undercut Nico again, mind you Lewis getting the first pit didn't help him there, will he whine ?

[Derek Smith]

Poor there from Vettel

[hdrflow]

Scruffy race by Vettel.
