As testing is so close I thought we should have a new thread to mark the start of the 2021 season. Bahrain International Circuit and takes place on 12-14 March. Starting at 10am local time (7am UK time). One-hour lunch break at 2pm local time (11am UK time). The track action will then resume at 3pm local time (12pm UK time) and run until 7pm local time (4pm UK time). In UK it's live on Sky F1 no idea about other countries - sorry.
I don't know if this works but you could try, you could even piggy back on someone else's (a friend) Sky account using this (if it works) How to watch Sky Go abroad in 5 Quick Steps (2021) - VPN Compare You might have already tried this.
It’s almost the weekend, and it’s almost time for on track action!! Always love the analysis of testing and I always thought sector 3 in Barcelona visually could tell you so much about a car. Bahrain is a very different circuit!! Might be a good early indicator of power units and drag- fascinated to see how they go.
Vasseur tests positive for COVID , so will contact the team from home . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/56367742
I'll probably just rely on you guys and social media to tell me who's sandbagging and who's putting in the glory laps on low fuel and quick rubber. Doubt we'll have a somewhat full picture until qualifying anyway.
One sixth of testing over now!! A couple of gearbox issues and a broken down Ferrari with a pain scheme that looks like they have an oil stain over the back end.
If they cancel this afternoon , I imagine they will be allowed to run on.monday morning? It's not as though they are going home again is it ?
You know what . I’m not sure they are going to do it this year , I think in fact it’s very far from certain .
What's the betting Mercedes dominance comes to a sudden end this year, only for the rules to then completely change!
It would be nice to see some challenges up at the front and I honestly think Lewis would welcome it too. He must get bored out on his own. I think Valtteri may struggle this year if the others are on their game which might make the Constructors at threat. Two strong drivers at Redbull, Ricciardo, even Vettel might challenge Valtteri if he loses his mojo again.
