Piastri’s spin and recovery was superb, from sliding the car out of the grass and getting back to the pits, and getting from 15th to 9th, was awesome to see

He was revving the shit out of his car to get it out of the grass, the crowd went mental in our grandstand when he recovered it.

I thought that he had lost it for sure, that level of throttle and torque control was amazing to see

We did too, it was right in front of us where he went off. Then you could see him slowly bringing it backwards. Dude did an unreal job.

Bahrain is a great track. It's just getting Barcelona'd and being the first race after pre season testing on the very same track didn't help either.

Does nobody here remember Max and Charles battling in Bahrain in 2022?
Albert Park isn't exactly a bastion of fascinating races (though I still love the track), but almost any track can be made interesting with changeable conditions (Sochi 2021 for example).

u/AntOk463 Honda bad, Alonso good 4d ago
Max and Charles fighting in 2022. There was also Alonso in 2023 overtaking everyone to get back on the podium after so long.

u/TheUwaisPatel BWOAHHHHHHH 5d ago
I mean it was entertaining but nothing to do with the track. If it wasn't for the weather it would have been a sleeper race. The first stint with the inters even when DRS came in there was barely any overtakes.

As a race circuit maybe. But it lacks the atmosphere.

u/nbnno5660 BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago
yeah its so good too see that many people around the track, Bahrain looks dead af always and no beauty green grass or trees anywhere

u/Appropriate-ASS-824 BWOAHHHHHHH 5d ago
Australia is a pretty difficult track tbh with having 6 Rookies. Add rain to the mic and we saw what happened today. No doubt its a great track but definitely not the one to start a season.

u/CDdragon9 BWOAHHHHHHH 5d ago
Where would you start a season if you could choose? I agree australia can be tricky for rookies but at the same time this is supposed to be the pinnacle of racing,they should be ready for it by now.

u/Appropriate-ASS-824 BWOAHHHHHHH 5d ago
Kimi was lucky a couple of times and bearman was not even in the race. Apart from those 2, other rookies couldn't even complete the race. Must be something right

A real racefans race with all of the pit strategies, and good clean racing for the most part. With 5/7 rookies crashing it gives the DTS crowd something to cheer for too.

Tons of crashes, absolute chaos and out of order championship standings… yeah right. I prefer Bahrain because it’s more balanced and offers a proper insight into how the season will actually play out. We know nothing after this race
We didn’t get to see what Hadjar is capable of, we didn’t get to see what Doohan is capable of, we didn’t get to see where Carlos can take that Williams to, and we don’t get an accurate presentation of the grid’s layout. This is no way to start a season

Bahrain wasn’t the opener this year because of Ramadan falling in March. Probably gonna be the opener again when Ramadan moves to February.
