Camel of Bahrain

Checo did good :up:

Button gets my camel for whining, and Webber for being so slow in a winner car .

Pheww. Time to take stock.

Jens was strange. OK, Checo nerfed him up the arse and was more like a hitman than a driver but still?

Webber. That car is awesome and as Gary says, a second quicker in race trim. Where the F was he?

OK, Sergio gets a nod as well. Sticking your elbows out is good but we cant afford to compromise our race strategy like that. Save it for the bad guys :D

If they had given team orders either way they would have caught Webber in the middle of the race. When they had a lap without fighting they were closing down on Webber, but every time they started scrapping they were dropping seconds.

No doubt if they had given team orders in either direction they would be voted donkey of the race for that by some people as well. Personally I'm happy they let them race.

Ferrari (although Alonso did well to score some points in spite of all his problems) and Webber.

Button didn't impress much, either.

I don't know - Jenson pushing Checo out of the track and Sergio doing the same with Alonso were a bit over the line IMHO. I was surprised that the stewards didn't even bother to investigate that. You are supposed to leave a car's width, aren't you?

Alonso's DRS mechanism.



He had some crap races last year too - Spa springs to mind.

agreed

for me
button - for the above stated reasons and more. The team should have told button to elt Perez go. He would have finished p5 ahed of Hamilton
Ferrarri for DRS problems ( although alonso is in the DotR category) and whatever issues they had in setup or tires with Massa
speaking off...Massa for ruining Sutil's race by running wide and making unnecessary contact with the force India
Guiterrez, yet again. Time to call Kobayashi, it's just not working out.
Webber for for being webber, that chop block on perez is worthy of a penalty, then a miserable final stint and being reeled in by both Hamilton and Perez in a far superior car.

That's it

Webber, that car is too good to have a race like that!

In addition, every team besides RB - About time you guys make a car that is less than 1 second slower than what RB has.

nah, very close at the front of the field. the difference is vettel. ferrari had the best race pace today. isn't much between the top 3 teams anyway.

Camel is Rosberg for me. Qualifying so high up and finishing so far down. Also like Garry says, every team there except rbr, for making a car a second a lap slower than vettel s!

Whoever prepped the Mercedes. Rosberg was given a camel to drive - exactly how much fuel did they put in that thing!!!
