Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2012

Have a good time today?

No further action on the Rosberg incidents.

I don't know if I am lucky but when i went to the media center for the first day. The lady told me to go inside and see where I want to sit and get back to her with the seat number. Well I didn't, I told her show me the empty seats and I took "H16".

I went there and I saw James Allen at the left. Edd Straw and Jonathan Noble in front of me and a journalist from Sky sports and Adam Cooper. So I was really happy because I took that seat

I met the Crown prince today he told me "We have a problem here, no one is hiding it. But we have to tell the truth to the people and not just rumours" and that's what I am trying to do

Did they bother speaking to you? Were you the youngest there?

if that's not luck I don't know what to say anymore. you were close to some of the best f1 journalists... how are they?

a few statistics for this weekend:

- 22. victory for Vettel witch puts him 11th overall with Damon Hill
- with Vettel's 31. pole position yesterday he just needs 3 more poles to be the 3rd most successful qualifying driver behind Michael Schumacher (68) and Ayrton Senna (65)
- 63. podium for Kimi Räikkönen. He is now ahead of David Coulthard in 6th place overall
- Mark Webber finished all 4 races in 4th position
- it was Schumacher's 230th race finish witch puts him first overall in front of Rubens Barrichello (229)
- it was the first podium for Romain Grosjean and the first leading lap in his 11th race in F1
- Paul Di Resta also got his first leading lap in F1 and his best result (6th)
- it was Jenson Button's worst ever race result (18th)

Well, I think Vettel deserved the result, but Grosjean is my driver of the day. Mclaren just collapsed and Rosberg needs a lesson on track limits.

Not a bad race by Bahrain standards.

Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but what was wrong with his moves. Aren't you allowed to place your car there when defending?

[mikhailv]

Personally, I think rosberg pushed alonso and hamilton off. Both had some car at the side of him but the FIA said it wasn't enough. I dont mind that sort of driving if every driver is allowed to do it, but clearly they arent.

So, why the hell isn't Lewis Hamilton penalised? IF the FIA say he wasn't pushed by nico, then he purposely went off track and overtook Nico outside the track limits.

But the FIA didn't penalise lewis. Because he was pushed. But they say he wasn't pushed by nico, so why is lewis not getting a penalty for clearly overtaking outside track limits with absolutly no reason then???

Simple. Rosberg was in the wrong. Theres a difference between defending your position, and swiping 6 car lengths across the track at such a violent angle and speed.

Sorry, but if Lewis did that move, he would be penalised. And then call the stewards racist

I missed the race due to an absence! Is there a link where i can watch it?

Your Fernando pulled the exact same move, remember? So you're asking for a penalty for him as well

[mikhailv]

Did you even read the post or did those rose tinted lewis glasses obscure everything?

I clearly say it was rosberg. Theyve deemed him innocent of anything which in turn means lewis had no reason to go off track and overtake outside the track limits. But the FIA didnt punish lewis for for overtaking outside track limits; because he was PUSHED. So either you can shove people off or you can overtake off the track completly for no reason.

Pretty sure its clear as day what I said but i'll re-spell it you

Overtakes outside track are not allowed. Or rosberg penalty or hamilton penalty. Choose

[Abul3ala2]

My opinion is that the stewards avoided giving useless penalties. in ROS/HAM incident: one pushed the other outside, the other overtook outside, so there just few choices for the stewards: either punishing both of them for their actions, or order ROS to let HAM past which the later did indeed or just let it slide!

ALO in the other hand didn't have a single inch of his F2012 side by side with the W03 (if the onboard and my eyes are not failing me), so his ranting and complaining is useless. Maybe he remembers China 2010 when he pushed Felipe Baby outside the track at the pit entry.

I promise you when I become a winning driver you'll have a seat between Georgie Thompson and Lee McKenzie

When hamilton go outtrack, he was still back Rosberg, so then he ovaratake outtrack, penalty for hamilton?.

It's same move with hamilton and alonso.

Well, my opinion is from what I seen from the onboard and what I read from the stewards' press release.
