2015 Bahrain GP Thread
I have no time to do my intro's anymore , but still need to get this thread open.
So it seems as though the front of F1 will be quite predictable this season.
Mercedes 1-2 mostly with Lewis beating Nico
Then Ferrari's 3-4 with Seb largely beating Kimi
Then Williams not fast enough to catch ahead, but too fast for the rest.
Then unpredictable racing from 7th downwards.
Lets see if I am wrongI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Bahrain is a race held in hot conditions, so perhaps Ferrari has a better chance of toppling Mercedes than in China.
Other than that, yeah... Let's see if Renault engines last to the end. Verstappen has been running in top 8 positions in every race so far, but twice retired with a blown engine.

Except this is a night race bro. I have a suspicion that the gap between Mercedes, and Ferrari will actually be larger here. One thing Mercedes has is great exit speed out of slower corners, and this track has a got a whole slug of them. Of course Seb excels at this track, and humbly suggest, that he may well continue to give Kimi a beat-down.

If last year was the platform then we should be in for a corker of a race between the mercs but I think that Rosberg crack under the pressure and Lewis will take the win but thats if the race is clean for either driver if not then the Ferraris will pounce.

The winning margins have been thin, and no driver or car has really dominated the track. Combined with still being a warm track, and Sebastian and Kimi in the Ferrari's, and I think we could have a real race on our hands. It's not a race where the pole to win ratio is really high, but I don't think anyone has won the race from very far back either.
Kimi is due. I think he has more podiums than any other at the track, but no wins..... yet.

With some unexpectedly high attrition McZo could grab a point, but even that would take a minor miracle. At any rate good luck, and I may be able to benefit from your play, or vice versa in knocking aki' down a rung
