Formula 1 2015: Round 4 - Bahrain Grand Prix

I'm loving that new Ferrari team principal.

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 4:16pm

Judging from that onboard the McLaren doesn't sound anywhere near as rough as it did a few races ago

Peanut Butter Jelly · 19-04-2015 4:17pm

I'm guessing that Vettel made a mistake because Rosberg has closed by a second.

I wonder if Rosberg will complain that the Ferraris aren't driving fast enough, so he can't overtake...

It looks like Rosberg ate his spinach this morning!

HighLine · 19-04-2015 4:20pm

Rosberg finally gets his finger out and is told he needs to manage tyres. Modern F1 at it's finest.

That's just unbelievable,. Adjusting his brake balance at about 200MPH going into a corner against Vettel...and pulls it off.

He was hilarious in the team principal press conference too when asked about the current contract regarding how funds are distributed, I'll find the quote from the transcript later!

Some nice racing so far

Hopefully DRS could help Rosberg attack Hamilton

Jordan 199 · 19-04-2015 4:30pm

Brilliant driving from Rosberg.

Grim. · 19-04-2015 4:31pm

DRS zzzzzz

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 4:32pm

Best race in a long time so far, fair play to Rosberg, he's pulled the finger out today

Mike Litoris · 19-04-2015 4:32pm

Good god! Rosberg is full of beans today!

Just noticed Vettel and Rosberg crossed the pit line as Hamilton was coming out? Is that still a violation?

He really has upped his game today. He's on fire.

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 4:38pm

Nice to see Ferrari being able to stick with the Mercedes

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 4:40pm

Kimi after taking 3 seconds out of the leaders on the mediums :eek:

Peanut Butter Jelly · 19-04-2015 4:43pm

The mediums are definitely the tyre to be on right now. Raikkonen is doing 38's while Hamilton, Rosberg and Vettel are doing 39's.

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 4:47pm

Rai still taking chunks out of the time difference... He might actually have a shot at winning today

Should make for a great final stint!

Only for the car coming out, not for those already on track!

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 4:56pm

Wonder if any chance of Safety car

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 5:00pm

Some early stops, wonder will Rosberg or Kimi stay out a lot longer

youreadthat · 19-04-2015 5:04pm

Vettel has been horrible today.

CFlat · 19-04-2015 5:05pm

Disaster.

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:05pm

Podium for Kimi I'd imagine

Very scrappy alright.

CFlat · 19-04-2015 5:08pm

Its all falling apart for Ferrari.

Andrew76 · 19-04-2015 5:10pm

Kimi should've pitted a few laps ago, going very slow.

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:11pm

Great stop!

Pity they kept him out so long though...

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 5:13pm

Hopefully the right tyres for kimi to close the gap, but gap does look a bit too big at this stage

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:15pm

Kimi is on fire now, fastest lap

Come on!

He's taking huge chunks out each lap though, 13 laps he's going to catch Rosberg

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:20pm

Down to 10 seconds

antodeco · 19-04-2015 5:23pm

Why didn't they do a tyre change to softs when Vettell came in to change his nose?

They did, they put him on fresh mediums. He ruined the set he got a few laps previously by running wide

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:27pm

There he is!

Come on Kimi!

How did I miss that!!

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 5:30pm

Vettel mightn't have had a good set of softs to use. Wonder how Kimis tyres will hold up for the next few laps, will be good if there's a battle over second

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 5:32pm

Less than 2 second gap now, should be DRS range next lap

And traffic ahead

antodeco · 19-04-2015 5:33pm

Think we'll fall a lap short or two for Kimi to be able to do anything

CFlat · 19-04-2015 5:33pm

Come on Kimi.

Cool_CM · 19-04-2015 5:35pm

This will be tight!

Yes!!!

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 5:36pm

YESSSSSS!!!

CFlat · 19-04-2015 5:36pm

OH great stuff!!!

Mike Litoris · 19-04-2015 5:37pm

All the good work Rosberg did today is gone in a flash. Good stuff out of Kimi.

Sterling Archer · 19-04-2015 5:37pm

There it is.

Mike Litoris · 19-04-2015 5:38pm

Oh Hamilton issue!!!

challengemaster · 19-04-2015 5:38pm

If Hamilton has a last lap DNF...

Ghost Train · 19-04-2015 5:38pm

Mercedes having brake issues

Mike Litoris · 19-04-2015 5:38pm

He looks a bit slow!
