Mercs go for the split strategy.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Pinkie? Is this some cool hip new nickname the sky team have for Pinkham? Sinkie the pinkie...lolz
Formula Mercedes.
No way Bottas will be letting Massa through after last time.
I'm surprised that riccardo hasn't been able to come through the pack at all. The lack of power really is stopping them from being able to pass it seems here
Some great racing so far in this race
Team battles have been great.
Button with no DRS
Lewis is pulling away no 7.5 secs ahead
Perez is driving very well
Looks like it will come down to Lewis's pace on the Prime in the final stint. Rosberg will be giving it the beans on the option, think Lewis will need a lot more in hand than 8 seconds.
So what is the gap at the front. The race director hasn't focused on that at all.
7.5 seconds I think
I agree, I am shocked that they are both using different compounds.
Probably Rosberg's call, better chance of a clean win I reckon. Great race so far though.
Not working out for Rosberg.
That was all Bottas fault
If the speed difference between the option and prime is less than half a second then Rosberg isn't going to win, unless Lewis can't match it.
good battle for 7th
The Ferrari is such a dog of a car. Again. So disappointing.
Ferrari seem to be going backwards all the time.
Shame for Alonso and Raikkonen.
Shame for Alonso and Raikkonen.
They were saying before that race started that the gap was nearly 2 second between compounds.
Yeah its definately not that now, but Rosberg is only about 3-4 tenths slower than Lewis. I think Hamilton is definately pacing himself though, hes not taking the life out of them to shorten his final stint up. But if Lewis does that whilst still pulling away, then gaining from pitting first again the gap might be too much and/or Merc might call it off as a fight.
What was Lewis saying there? He sounded pissed off at the engineer saying something to him?
Lewis has still pulled away even though he was lifting and coasting.
Have we had a night race with rain before?
Race engineer said no need to lift/coast to save fuel anymore, Lewis said I know but I'm looking after my tyres..Maaaaannnnn.
Ah I see, thanks!
Ferrari have no pace in this car
Not that I can remember, but have we ever had rain in Bahrain ever before full stop?
Christ I only just noticed Mercedes lead over the pack, 45 seconds! Domination.
Good point.Would love a night race with a bit of rain, would be so much fun to watch.
Ferrari need to get their act together and quickly, having Alonso and Raikkonen in such a poor car is criminal.
Lewis will not want a SC
Safety car could really help Rosberg for the final stint
Safety Car, and Rosberg is handed the win. Yuk.
Pastor fecking mental.
OMG that could of been very very nasty
Ouch, would have been painful sitting in that car, bouncing on your head
SC out as well.
