She was out of the track chasing down Kahne...

I thought she drifted up and caused the accident. I have to look at the replay. Let me check YouTube

Kasey's fault:

Danica Patrick

I will never forget when Fox or ESPN was hosting a NASCAR race last year and asked Gene Haas if he would hire Danica Patrick to drive his Formula 1 car. The look on Haas' face was priceless. J.C. Do a little research before asking a dumb question.

F1 drivers follow the path of most great drivers – They have multiple championships in karting, European open wheel, and F3. They are the best of the best before F1 car manufacturer’s talent scouts pick them up and sign them to a contract in an F1 program.

Where would Danica Patrick fit in to the above scenario – Winning multiple championships?

Anyway, Bernie Ecclestone has said numerous times that females would never be taken seriously in F1. He more or less banned women from competing in the sport.

**Dylan** · 04-02-2016, 04:59 PM

Nico Rosberg had the pole on the first Q3 runs, with Lewis Hamilton fourth after a mistake on a turn. Nico Rosberg says he was "sure" he had the pole position only to be beat by Hamilton on an additional run-half run, last turn-last two turns (?) set by Ecclestone's new qualifying rules.

Quote:

F1 Bahrain GP - Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff: We can’t follow qualifying, even with our data!

Quote:

So, quali now means you get one fast lap per session. if it looks like you might advance, you get a second lap. Plus, if you are in the top 4, you get a second crack at pole, and everyone gets to come in for tea before the checkered flag drops. Quite civilized, don't you say, old chaps?

On the way to the circuit:

Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix
Sunday, 11:00 a.m. NBCSN

Starting Grid
1. Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes-Mercedes 1m 29.493s
2. [B]Nico Rosberg GER Mercedes-Mercedes 1m 29.570s

4. Kimi Raikkonen FIN Ferrari-Ferrari 1m 30.244s
5. Daniel Ricciardo AUS Red Bull-TAG Heuer 1m 30.854s
6. Valtteri Bottas FIN Williams-Mercedes 1m 31.153s
7. Felipe Massa BRZ Williams-Mercedes 1m 31.155s
8. Nico Hulkenberg GER Force India-Mercedes 1m 31.620s

9. Romain Grosjean FRA Haas-Ferrari 1m 31.756s

22. Felipe Nasr BRZ Sauber-Ferrari 1m 34.388s

* denotes driver due to take start from pit-lane
** Vandoorne will substitute for the injured Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso holds the record for the most wins in Bahrain. Of the current drivers, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa and Sebastian Vettel have two wins each.

Beautiful circuit. Race starts at twilight. Turn 11 offers one of the best overtaking opportunities while Turn 12 can be one of the most exciting to watch drivers navigate around the track.

Be cautious when leaving the circuit:

The muppet (Hamilton) is running third...Kimi second, Rosberg first.

New team from Haas messes up as Grosjean is brought in for his third stop and his team takes a while getting the super soft boots on - He was running sixth...Now eighth, Shame

Edit: Wow, Grosjean up to fifth!

Love this track - Everything is yellow - yellow sand, yellow buildings, yellow sky - yellow Renaults --- Yellow, Yellow, Yellow!

Edit: Rosberg is 6.6 secs ahead of Kimi (Ferrari). He's looking very good for his second win of the year - Yes!!! Hope this is his year.

The Muppet is still trying to catch Kimi, which currently stands at 13 secs but he is running out of laps with five to go.

Grosjean will come in sixth! Truly amazing!!!!

The first lap was crazy. Hell, before the first lap things got interesting with Vettel/Ferrari had another mechanical issue...

**Dylan** · 04-03-2016, 10:35 AM

I missed it!!! Saw the replay. I will catch the start of the race tonight... NBCSN re-runs 12 hours later...

Saw that Seb (Vettel) car was retired...

The MUPPET is going to come in third... Good times!

Edit!!!

Wow! Rosberg Wins!!!

Kimi second

The muppet third

Grosjean sixth place finish and fifth in points!!! Unbelievable !!

Holy shit America has arrived!!!

Love the fireworks....Amazing!!!

**Dylan** · 04-03-2016, 10:50 AM

Last year you could see that Grosjean had a lot of potential driving for Renault. Haas signed him to a one year contract...They better up the game fast if they want to keep him.

Haas is paying him only $4.5 million. What a bargain. Seb's salary: $50 million per year.

Rosberg has to win the championship this year - rumor - If not he will lose his seat.

I believe this is Kimi's last year in F1.

Edit: GloryDayz - forgot to let you know, Ecclestone might finalize a second date in the US - Las Vegas. Texas will remain on the schedule.

LOL: Kevin Harvick tweeted a Congrats to Grosjean! Cannot wait to see Grosjean make an appearance at a NASCAR race in the future...Wow F1 arrives in America!!!

**SAUTO** · 04-03-2016, 11:10 AM

Can we get a definition on "muppet"?

**Dylan** · 04-03-2016, 12:55 PM

Yikes, Hamlin hits the wall - brings the car in with significant damage.

Harvick loses a couple of spots in the pits.

Running Order:
1. Kyle
2. Kenseth
3. Johnson
4. Larson
5. Kurt

Al Bundy · 04-03-2016, 01:56 PM

Kasey Kahne is just pitiful..

**Dylan** · 04-03-2016, 02:21 PM

Al what happened ... Seems the cars are under caution.

It is freezing outside in NYC. Temp feels like 20. The wind almost blew me away

Kyle's restarts are amazing.

**Dylan** · 04-03-2016, 02:25 PM

It's getting pissy out there

Brad's car is hanging on by a thread...

Edit:

Come on Kyle!!!! 3 to Go

2 To Go...

My boy's got it!!!! 1 to go

My boy wins!!!!!!!!! Woooo!

Impressive, Kyle lead 352 of 500 laps

Burn those tires down!
