Yup, the Nico/Lewis battle could get quite good as the season moves on. As long as they don't start taking each other out, I don't see the team stepping in. Trading 1-2 finishes is not a bad thing.

Watching the race, I'm wondering, where are the race fans? Just how many people actually attend this race in Bahrain?

It was an even better jump from Perez! lol He did a flip!

Edit, it wasn't perez that Maldonado hit, it was someone else.

The Mercs look to be 5 steps ahead of the field, to pull out a 22 second gap in 10 laps? Ridiculous. If there was no team orders for Rosberg to stay behind Lewis on softs, that was a great great drive by Lewis.

Best race in a long, long time. Great racing. Great drives by Hamilton and Rosberg. Super job by FI and Perez. Good to see them on the podium.

Vettel must have indigestion from swallowing all that pride. And oh how the mighty Ferraris have fallen.

The race was 1 hour 39 minutes and some change.

Does the new fuel rule of 100 liters of fuel mean the cars are loaded with 100 liters max? I ask because I've read and heard about the rule being limited to 100 liters per hour so I'm wondering which it is.

With the fuel being monitored and limited, and the RB thang happening, I'm thinking they are limiting the fuel flow rates to 100 liters per hour?

If the rule was simply that the cars can only hold 100 liters of fuel, then why monitor and limit the fuel flow?

Such an awesome race with a lot of it coming down to the wire. Wow! Great fight for Mercedes at the top. And the Sauber being lifted was pretty crazy! I knew something like that was bound to happen with the new nose designs.

Why? He got everything out of his higher downforce setup. Couldn't compete in the straights but made the best of it, even keeping both Williams at bay in the end. Perez the real winner today. Very happy for him

great race, seems like it was every man for himself out there. lots of teammate vs teammate battles but the Mercs are on another level. They pulled so fast on the entire field after the safety car.

Rosbergs tires started to go off in the last 3 laps or things could have gotten really interesting, great drive by Lewis though, he must have been sweating bullets
