BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX Bit of a different start to the Season compared to the last 8 odd years? I support Lewis and George (and Lando), being British, so in one way disappointing start for them, but on the plus side for the fans, it could make for an enjoyable season as Lewis is such a good racer to watch and when he had the dominant car, you rarely got the chance to see that. Watching him cut though the opposition will be fun  |

Well, going to put the words into a Spoiler, but I will let Nelson say .... {CLICK HERE FOR SPOILER}I don't usually take pleasure in others misfortunes, but in the case of Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen I will make an exception.
It is a shame for Perez, however. |

Watching him cut though the opposition will be fun  I always favour the underdog no matter where their from so to see Mercedes struggle doesn't bring any tears to my eyes. I would like to see Ferrari do well and Russel do better than Lewis. The new rules re aerodynamics is very interesting 👍👍👍 |

Looks like no problems getting close and passing anymore. |

Looks like no problems getting close and passing anymore. Which can only be good for racing….. But what view will the stewards take of cars coming together after the rule changes ? For me racing incidents are just that. Let’s hope it doesn't lead to the arguments we had last year entertaining as it could be and often was…… 👍👍👍 |

I haven't seen the race and don't know the result ... would the highlights be worth watching or should I just go straight to the results?  |

Only 4 days to the start of the next race weekend! Won't take long to move the Circus from Bharain to Jeddah, but will there be enough time for those teams that need it to find more speed, and others to sort reliability? And any revised parts designed, made and shipped from the European Factories?
Used to have 2 weeks between the first 2 races I think? That was probably a good idea thinking about it!
