Wah-rain Grand Prix

In this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we’ve gone overboard with our excitement about the 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix. Great race, greater on-track battles followed by a stupid podium comment! All that and more in our Formula1 Podcast: (You Tube Channel: http://youtu.be/libXpaXq2jU)

  • More on two stops, Raikkonen did the fastest race on two stops!
  • Had Alonso’s DRS not been stuck, do you think we would have a 3-way fight for the first place?
  • No. 2 in Ferrari, but No. 1 in bad luck, you know who we are talking about…
  • And a driver who didn’t want to be stuck as number 2 was Perez! Good battle with Button
  • ‘Thank you Heikki’ and Pic beat Gutierrez!
  • Also, can Pirelli resurrect HRT and make them win?
  • And, Formula1 drivers will now be fitter post Bahrain, thanks to Bernie. Hear the last segment to find out why!

We’ve introduced ‘fan comments’ now on the Inside Line F1 Podcast and if you wish to get your views or opinions featured, share them with us. Until next week ‘Keep racing, but preserve your tyres!

4 comments On Wah-rain Grand Prix

  • Vettel, the Man!
    Yes, Roseberg was a total surprise.
    Siding with Rishi on Vettel – Strategy helped Vettel, even if Kimi and Alonso were neck and neck with Vettel, I’m sure vettel would have won Bahrain anyways.
    Perez was dangerously aggressive, but hey! no major incident happened, so no big deal!
    People try to pull words outta Vettel’s mouth, why take a chance when you know he loves playing with words and he is funny, rather witty! I think his comment should be brushed off, it was a momentary lapse!
    Motorhome mix-up is gonna affect one racer in particular and that is Vettel – Do you know why? Now media gets ample chance to pull words outta his mouth while walking around, I only hope his already deflated image(thanks to Cribber, oops Sorry Webber!) is not dented further.

  • AWESOME, FROM BORE-RAIN TO WAH-RAIN
    BUT THE ONLY THING WE MISSED IN THE DESERTS OF SAKHIR WAS “RAIN”.
    SOME TIME BERNIE HINTED THE IDEA OF ARTIFICIAL SPRINKLERS , TO MAKE TRACK WET..
    I THINK THE TIME TO IMPLEMENT IS ONN.
    WE CAN WEIRD PREDICTIONS FOR RESULT ON THAT PART.
    MOREOVER REGARDING MIX MOTORHOMES AND ALSO LETS GUESS FOR RANDOM GARAGES..
    GUYS COME UP WITH SOMETHING ON YO PODCAST,
    JUST IMAGINE HOW MANY TIMES HAM WILL VISIT MCLAREN GARAGE..
    AND HOW MANY TIMES SAM MICHEAL WILL SHOW HIM THE OUT GATE.
    APART 4M THAT, PREDICT WHAT GROS-CRASH-GROS-JEAN WOULD COME UP,, AND KIMI WILL BE KIMI.
    I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIS RADIO-
    ” U LEFT ME TOO ALONE, WHR R U? CANT FIND THE LOLLIPOP”
    THOUGH THIS MESS WONT HAPPEN,
    BUT MY APOLOGY FOR MY COMMENTS ON PER,
    GREAT DRIVE MAN, U R BACK..
    LADY ‘BAD’ LUCK, SEEMS ALSO BE BEHIND OUR MAN SUTIL,
    STRIKING RE-DEBUT AT AUS, BUT LATER ON THREE RACES SEEMS NO FAULT OF HIS, HE IS POINTLESS.
    LOOKING FWD AT BARCELONA!!

  • What a Fantastic Podcast. Also glad to hear my name in it.. Thanks a lot Kunal. It was really not a boring race and so much happening on the track.. I listen to all your podcast as its so much fun. Always waiting for your podcast as they really are fun and informative too 🙂

    • Thanks Pavithra, yes VET was the man in Bah-rain, of course, it was more Blah-rain on the podium for him!
      I feel too that VET would’ve won had he done two stops, but my calculations do say that RAI was quickest on two stops.
      As for PER, he had to do what he did to announce his arrival in Mclaren, I am glad we had some wheel to wheel racing!
      And VET needs to know what not to say, especially since he’s a triple WC and has a following of people who can be easily influenced. Now you wouldn’t want those minds to be brought up as sexists! 🙂
      Latesh, thank you too! Lady luck it is for Adrian, badly needs a change in luck in Spain. Let us hope!
      As for sprinklers, I doubt we need that. Any way a lot of F1 today is artificial, hopefully nature will let be natural!
      And Rajesh, thank you too for the good words. Keep Racing!
