2013 F1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX: RACE **SPOILERS MAYBE**

What? A Mercedes going backwards during the race? Unheard of!

 

It needs to be sorted

 

I predicted it..

 

Indeed but Massa is their last hope at the moment. Similar to Kimi last race.

 

In that case, nobody should be able to run a 2-stop strategy. Oddly enough, Diresta is leading the race running on mediums and is still planning a 2-stopper. That radio transmission about "some teams switching to a 3-stop but staying with our strategy" was in reference to Massa.

 

And Vettel activates cruise control... We had a chance for an exciting race, but no more

 

Our only hope now is seb racing web & clashing

 

Felipe asked to slow down...

 

Bed looks like a good option. Ferrari have fncked themselves and deserve a punch in the face for putting that wing on Alonso's car like that.

Unless Kimi can pull of a 2 stopper although I guess Vettel was still in front by then... nvm

 

They wanted to test it to see if it would work after they pounded the thing back down into where it should be, but it turns out that it wasn't just a fluke malfunction but something very wrong with it.

 

Ouch!

"**** happens", no need for anyone to be hung-drawn-&-quartered!

I'm still liking Kimi.....

 

What a disaster for Ferrari...

 

Massa seems to have a problem, apart from his front wing.

 

Aborted weekend for Ferrari. Now Massa is falling apart.

Why didn't they replace his frigging wing during his pit stop???

 

Wow, black cloud over Ferrari

 

Massa in for a stop and they didn't swap his front wing even though they had one right there for it.

 

Yep Vettel's race ...

Tyre failure for Ferrari and Massa...

 

Its these piece of **** Pirelli tires doing all of this. They said Massa's rear right tire was starting to do something similar to what happened to Hamilton's in P3.

 

It ain't over yet..

 

horrible race for SF....hope Kimi or Weber get it from Seb.

 

You don't win WDC's with poor car preparation. In fact 99% of motor racing is car prep.

But yes something might have jammed it but if not then they need to get their ***** together IMO.

Sleep is sounding good. The last thing I want to see is the cans 1-2 and Ferrari with no points. Horrible luck this weekend for the Scuderia.

 

barring an Issue with Vettels car... its over. Even after 2nd round of pitting now he will still be out front.
