Bahrain GP 2013: Nods & Nays

[Kyss4k]

Honor Role

Driver of the race: Vettel, Alonso
Honorable Mention: Lotuses, Di Resta
Overtaking Move of the Race: there was so many stuff going on... probably Pérez and Button crazy stuff
Race High Point: 0, null, none

Horror Role

Driver off the Pace: Rosberg
The Lewis Hamilton Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: Button & Pérez stuff, Alonso's rear wing was pretty dumb and mannertless
Race Low Point(s): Seeing Fernando with the open wing and then seeing him opening it again straight out of pits and Felipe's tyre delamination

Your Take on the Race
Pretty much the worst case scenario. Worse could have been only DNFs. Race to forget as fast as possible.

Honor Role

Driver of the race: Alonso
Honorable Mention: Hamilton for a great result in his tyre hungry dog
Overtaking Move[s] of the Race: Alonso fighting back to 8th without DRS
Race High Point: Overtaking Vettel at the first corner, I thought it would be an easy win from there

Horror Role

Driver off the Pace: Gutierrez
The Lewis Hamilton Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: Perez almost giving his teammate a puncture
Race Low Point(s): Alonso's wing failing a second time, Massa getting a second puncture

Your Take on the Race
Our drivers were so unlucky today, and it's really frustrating that our misfortunes gifted Vettel an easy 25 points. Is it silly of me to want Vettel to come to Ferrari next year, just so that Alonso thrashes him, destroys all his confidence and sends him back to the Red Cows a broken man?

At least this year we're competitive enough to fight back without relying on Alonso's magic and others making mistakes. As long as Newey doesn't find a new way to cheat, we'll be able to regain the lead in both championships within a few races.

Perez had a couple of silly moments hitting Button's rear wheel and forcing Alonso off the track, but he showed great race pace. Baldisserri was spot on when he said last year that Perez is talented but too aggressive.

Honor Role

Driver of the race: Vettel
Honorable Mention: Raikkonen, Grosjean, Hamilton, Alonso
Overtaking Move of the Race: Too many to choose from, awesome non-DRS battle from corner to corner
Race High Point: Start

Horror Role

Driver off the Pace: Rosberg
The Lewis Hamilton Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: Perez trying to sharpen his front wing on the rear tyre of his teammate
Race Low Point(s): Fernando pushing the DRS button after the first time it was closed on the pits, the tyre punctures of Felipe

Your Take on the Race
As a F1 fan it was a really exciting race. As a Ferrari fan it was a pure nightmare. The track is awesome, the tyre situation is ridiculous. What would have happened with Soft/Hard combination that was originally meant to be used?

Driver/Car of the race: RB and traction out of corners
Honorable Mention: our team for never giving up, Lotus (both driver), DiResta
Overtaking Move of the Race: Vettel us, Vettel Rosberg
Race High Point: Start and first 300 meters

Horror Role

Driver off the Pace: none
The Lewis Hamilton Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: everything what Perez did
Race Low Point(s): DRS function which broke off of a sudden by none, Vettel overtake Alonso like our car was fixed and earth grounded

Your Take on the Race
As a F1 fan it was a really exciting race. As Tifoso it was a 2nd Waterloo. Proud that they never give up and pushed even with blunt weapons

Horror Role

Honor Role

Driver of the race: Vettel he was untouchable.
Honorable Mention: Alonso, Perez, Raikkonen
Overtaking Move of the Race: Perez on Button. It was great to see them race wheel to wheel.
Race High Point: Getting by Seb at the start.

Horror Role

Driver off the pace: Rosberg stood out most from pole.
The Lewis Hamilton Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: Perez and Button
Race Low Point: The entire race. When the curtains fell I had the aftertaste in my mouth like drinking urine, only we have to endure this for another 3 weeks now. I couldn't believe when a Ferrari win looked likely we all got another fingering.

Your Take on the Race
I hope someone can beat Vettel this year. I can't tolerate him dominating the sport any longer.

Almost forgot that race..

Honor Role

Driver of the race: Alonso
Honorable Mention: No honor to them
Overtaking Move of the Race: Alonso on Vettel
Race High Point: First lap

Horror Role

Driver off the Pace: Since I forgot other drivers' pace.. Sorry, Felipe. Also Button, Webber were off the pace.
The Bonehead Move of the Race Award goes to: Not move but anyway. To car #3's mechanics.
Race Low Point(s): Seeing wide opened DRS on car #3. And listening to stupid commentators' comments. They were not seeing it even on replays! Also Pirelli's (aka poor tyres, eggs ect.) "normal behavior" on car #4.

Your Take on the Race
Race to forget ASAP. Or race to stop watching F1. F1 is lottery.
