It would be nice if the race was shown again at a decent hour for those in North America.

11PM is pretty decent for PST.

West Coast viewers are going to be screwed for awhile once the European season starts with the exception of Canada.

5am start times... x_x

All European races qualifying and race start has been pushed 1hr and 1hr 10 mins.
So it'll be 6:10am race starts and 6am qualifying for PST. Except France GP will be 7am/7:10am.

UGH, thought Kimi had it (pole that is)! I wish he'd get just a *bit* of luck eventually!

Awesome race!!! Well the 2nd half anyway. Start was looking very boring.

Max had it in the bag I thought. But I'm glad he screwed up because... Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Ricciardo's overtaking was meticulous. Wow! The red bulls turned an otherwise boring race into an exciting one. Max needs to calm the eff down though.

Boring race that watching Bottas going to take the win, due to Ferrari kept VET out for a lap too long and a cautious pit stop, making Merc's undercut works. Then using Kimi at a roadblock for slowing down BOT.
Then tho STR clashed made the second part of the race interesting. RBR took the opportunity to double stack for a free pit, whilst others just hanging on. Then the two RBR should cut through the leaders like a hot knife on a butter. Then VER impatience caused him the podium, or possibly the win!

Congrats for Aussie Ricciardo ! Great race from the Red Bulls and the oustanding pitstop strategy from Horner did the trick
Max overtook Hamilton 3 times in this race ! I wonder why Hamilton is slower in the last 2 races ?
On the other hand...It's good to see the suspense again ! Because Merc, Ferrari, and Red Bull are very close !

From Merc's explanation, its their chassis unable to keep the tire at the right temperature, especially Saturday in cold weather (Track temp is only 15C). Or overheating in bahrain.

Combining this with the power deficit are greatly reducing this season, Merc doesn't have the absolute power advantage as the previous years. Also other teams are much closer pushes the Merc pit wall to make split second decision which they normally didn't have to in the past few years. In this case, I believe both Merc and Ferrari could've pitted HAM and RAI when the SC deployed, like the RBRs did.

Yeah . I heard that also ,so I agree with your statement
In the previous years the F1 races were mostly boring by the domination of the Mercs !

But currently the suspence and the thrill is back present !
Can't wait for Azerbeidzjan . But like most know...My thumbs are always up for Max
