  • F1 is back and the new 2024 season kicks off with the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir. Red Bull dominated last year and look like the favourites again after testing, but can anyone stop Max Verstappen getting his title defence off to the best possible start? In this preview, I take a look at some of the track stats, run through the weather forecast, talk tyres and strategy. Plus, Bahrain talking points and I make some weekend predictions.

      I hope that the decision made on the position of Horner is because the allegations were actually unfounded. It seems weird to me that the board needed time to decide after the report was delivered, last week(?). Maybe RB should make the report available.

  • @MaffooowMC
    @MaffooowMC Před 6 měsíci +8

    Two points:
    Firstly, keep the tyre talk - they're always amusing segways into which tyres are available. Could also throw in if a team has more sets of x compound compared to others (if it's a significant difference).
    Secondly, nice to see you mention F2/F3 in these, would you also be able to include the timings for each Quali/Sprint/Feature? Especially now that the F2/F3 Twitter accounts aren't setting their profile headers to the weekend schedule, it's harder to find the times.
    edit: just checked after posting this - they've since updated their headers to reflect the session timings. oops
    Thanks Sean!

    from the pirelli website: There are six slick compounds within the range, numbered from zero to five from hardest to softest. These are known as C0 to C5, with the ‘C’ standing for ‘compound’. Meaning the hardest three would be C0-C2 and not C1-C3 as you mentioned.

    • @F1Word
      @F1Word  Před 6 měsíci

      Pirelli announced in November last year that the C0 compound would be dropped from the range for 2024. Therefore, the range is now back to being C1-C5. The C1, C2 and C3 are the hardest in the range for 2024.
