Lol at RBR putting the woman up to collect the trophy. So much uncomfortable.

That was a good race. Plenty of tough racing....Looking at live timing Vettel was untouchable with his pace deep into the stints.

Good to see Romain get on the podium

[ctjet]

[sh@un]

mclaren having an almighty tussle

Checo doing his utmost to show Jense his unwillingness to just drop his race suit and bend over

good lad

[hrd-hr30]

well they did tell Perez to toughen up...

McLaren don't tell their drivers to bend over - they let them race. And good on 'em!

Mercedes are suffering the same fate as the last couple of years. A strong start to the season then quickly fade away because they have NFI how to make the rear tyres last. The first few tracks must be more 'front tyre limited' which makes Merc look better than they are. If F1 had decent tyres and refuelling, the Merc's could be genuine front runners. They make old-school F1 race car - ones that go fast on low fuel. But they suck at the game of conserving tyres designed to degrade.

RBR seem to love the warmer races that use Mediums and Hards. Malaysia and Bahrain, their pace has been untouchable. They seem to come back to the field in the cooler races that use the Softs and Mediums.

Fastest lap of the race 4.5sec slower than qualifying. Awesome...

I have to say I really like Whitmarsh. I like how he responds directly to questions, how he handles the drivers. I think back to the sphincter of the universe and the example of how to let your drivers race

Perez looks like he had a bit of wind in him, mde for good viewing but he wasn;t showing a lot of race craft considering the pace advantage he had over Button

Lots of good battles and more than anything so glad Romain was in the fight and showed some nice race craft

Both him And Domenicali seem to have a very earnest quality in interviews.

Other team bosses less so.

That is the reason Webber is never could and never will win a WDC, he simply lacks the aggression and arseholery needed to make super passes.

The trick is to be an arse on the track only.

[ctjet]

act like that off the track and it gets you girls too

its win/win

being mean really does seem to pay off

[sh@un]

he simply lacks the aggression and arseholery needed to make super passes.

getting passed twice with less than 90 seconds to go was a super special effort for the ozzie battler

meanwhile, his team mate with ostensibly the same car finishes 17 minutes ahead of second place

[tweety bird]

ah ivan i've missed your commentary.

[Roy]

ah ivan i've missed your commentary.

Stop enabling him and go buy a Caterham

Bahrain Grand Prix organisers are considering holding a night race next year.

With the 2014 grand prix marking 10th anniversary of the inaugural Sakhir Formula 1 event, track chiefs are determined to do something to mark the occasion.

Although nothing has been finalised yet, Bahrain Grand Prix chairman Zayed Al Zayani has revealed that several possibilities are being considered - including a night race.

"We are looking at many options. A night race could be one of them, but it is not the only one," Zayani told AUTOSPORT.

"It is our tenth race, and our tenth anniversary, so we want to do something different.

"But different doesn't necessarily mean we will race at night.

"There are pros and cons to doing it, and all options are open."

AUTOSPORT understands that if plans for a night race are given the green light, then the lighting infrastructure will be made permanent so the facility can utilise it all year around.

Bahrain is also pushing for its event to become the first race of 2014 as well, which would fit in well with the desire of teams and tyre supplier Pirelli to hold at least one test in the Middle East before the start of the campaign.

Zayani said that no decision had been made yet about where Bahrain would slot into next year's schedule, but he said the venue was prepared for a test and the opening round if required.

"We are ready," he said. "We have had a first race before, we have had a third race before, and fourth race before.

"But it is premature to say when we will be. We will know probably between July and September or October.

"We would love to have the teams here for testing as well. But at the end of the day, that is a decision for them, not us."
