Wait, no supports?

Predicting now that DRS will be way too effective and any overtakes will be done half a mile before turn 12

Probably

One of the better, if not the best, tilkedromes. Glad to see modern F1 back here. Not expecting any surprises in terms of results, though. So, easy 1-2 for Merc.

Btw, last chance for wet race this year (although rain's not totally unheard of in Bahrain). At the moment it shows 20% and 30% risk of rain during the qualifying and the race respectively. Unfortunately, we know that even 100% risk is not enough when we're talking about F1.

To get rain in F1 nowadays it must be 200% guaranteed chance of rain plus soaking the track before the race just to be sure

It's what happened in 2011 tbf

The uphill straight and headwind made it super DRS that day

Turn 8 will give Hamilton unprecedented levels of complaining about the wear on the right-front before each fastest lap.

I can't believe you haven't cracked this code yet

Race starts here at 10:10am, so that's gonna be totally worth getting up for

(Annoyingly BTCC are also shifting their calender earlier to prevent having to race in the dark, so it'll probably clash with BTCC race 1... )

Well that's 2:10am for me here in California. Just need to get a nap in as soon as the 12H of Sebring ends and it won't be too bad haha

Any chance for rain is all but disappeared. Wow, who'd have guessed? I'm sure that even if they raced in mid-January at Silverstone, it would be like +12 and sunny.
Good thing they added Saudi Arabia to calendar so at least we don't need to stress over the weather.

I didn't even bother watching the models this week

someone from here must go in one of the FIA trucks and disrupt Rainkiller 3000 forever

Track too slippery. Red flag. There's also a loose bollard in the grass and bolts sticking out.

the bollard caused the red
