That's really creepy.

What the fucking fuck.

 

[Leunam]

There's something absolutely hysterical about that .gif that I can't quite pinpoint.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

That looks quite long to me. I wonder if it will be an easy overtake or if we'll (hopefully) get good defending on T1.

I wish Bahrain was in F1 2011. I'd like to do a few laps... it's a fun track to drive.

You're absolutely right. I Can also post pics to show that things are hunky dory but I'm trying to show you what's not on the news things are pretty calm and we are out now in seef area. Will go to the rugby club later for a couple of pints. It's in budaya area near Saar where it is supposedly scary.

It's just that few things are happening inside the villages where no one goes except the ones living there

Oh wow...

Glad things aren't quite as bad there as some of the news make it seem like, just hope the everything goes well this weekend.

Well that is pretty much my reaction to this page so far, so it is fitting.

[mclaren777]

Ferrari only uses three threads to hold the wheels on.

Bahrain press conference

 

[ANDY_098]

I'm actually surprised that other teams use considerably more, a pretty simple way to cut the time of pitstops. Other teams using so many is probably a relic from the refuelling days where tyre changes could be much slower.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Hope you have a good weekend jerk, on and off the track

thanks buddy.. I'm home and its 1am Bahrian time now. my phone died while I was taking pictures on the way home. Bany jamra and doraz were active we tried to slow down to take pics but police were yelling at us to move. sotty I could'nt take pics

was reallt fun then we went from the rugby club to motorox cafe, its my favourite place in bahrain full of racing fans stuff and we had sheesha (hubly bubbly)

we're staying very close to the action area but tonight is quite according to my friend we're thikning its becasue of their leader coming out with a statement that the protesters would never want to harm anyone from formua 1 they're against the race but not the personel involved

last night, according to my firend. was vheated and there was some tear gas but not tinhg
t

I'm going to sleep had so much to drink and smoe, I'll skip practice one i'll go to practice two

its a shame kangaroo tv shitheads are not here in bahrain. how amn I going to wath the race???!!!

fuckers

goodnight

Vettel opts for new exhaust layout
http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/f1_media/articles/bahrain/Pages/thursday-3.aspx

After experiments with an older exhaust layout in China failed to deliver, Sebastian Vettel is to run the configuration team-mate Mark Webber raced to fourth in Shanghai when he takes to the track in Bahrain this weekend.

"We believe it’s the best solution and that’s why it’s on the car. This is the better direction to go in."

You should see it when it's hard. It's |................| long.

Good idea. Like I said last race, it's really the only option going forward and I'm sure he'll get used to it.

Nico probably told him about that "Massa is just wasting petrol" article.

A Canadian Formula 3 Championship in the works
http://www.auto123.com/en/racing-news/a-canadian-formula-3-championship-in-the-works?artid=142737

If this comes to fruition then it would be a big boost for Canadian/American drivers hoping to break into F1. I'd expect a few more drivers to be on the verge of F1 after a few years of this series, even more likely if the winner of this series is given a Super Licence as with some other F3 series from around the world.

 

[Leunam]

Massa looks so downcast.

Before the race last week, SPEED showed a brief history of Massa in F1, how he went from a winning Ferrari driver, to his accident, and then where we are now. Really made me feel pretty bad about his terrible turn of events. Can't bring myself to really poke fun at him anymore.

 

[xptoxyz]

Is the video of press conference anywhere else other than the Sky site?

Not at the moment, seems like they may have some kind of exclusivity deal. I don't think I've ever seen Thursday conferences available in this manner before.

Neither can I.

But he's making it so easy, for sure!

Same. I feel for the guy. Inb4 Blahblah makes tons of money blah.

I doubt it will give US/CAN drivers any meaningful progress. Most of the really talented guys know how important it is to compete in the Euro F3 championship because it gives them experience on numerous F1 tracks and it puts them in greater contact with GP3/GP2 teams.

Ferrari only uses three threads to hold the wheels on.

One of my mechanical engineering friends always said that threaded connections only need 3 full revolutions to achieve full mechanical strength. Looks like they were right.

If memory serves each thread added only adds half the support that the previous one does so you quickly run out of use as long as the material you are screwing into has enough strength to support the loading put open it, 3 threads in a aluminium block for a head bolt isnt strong enough and the ally thread would simply fail.

 

[mclaren777]

Hey, Jerk, can you please tell us what it's like in the grandstands?

 

[mclaren777]

Where did all of F1-GAF go?

 

[brotkasten]

Hiding from you.

 

[mclaren777]

Hiding from you.

Apparently. I was just browsing Twitter and there seems to be quite a lot of outrage about this race.

I'll be curious to see what long-term impact this GP has on the sport, if any.


Edit: an interesting juxtaposition of pictures...

 

[Sloane]

Where did all of F1-GAF go?

Boycotting the race.

 

[mclaren777]

Boycotting the race.

What good does that do?

 

[Nolan.]

It's mildly amusing looking at the lap charts with the top positions all Brits and Germans ha, also interesting Force India ran the option tyre so soon.

 

[Orgun]

Could only listen to P1 so don't have much to say. Gonna suck having to wait until 5pm for quali/race.

 

[Adamm]

Im gonna miss the early starts - I kind of enjoy waking up at 6am to watch a race.

But i suppose 1pm isnt too bad

 

[Hackbert]

mhh seems to be a Mclaren weekend. that's what my stomach says after their performance this morning. And Mercs doing a lot of laps (Rosberg) testing tire-degree
