Ocon has a sidepod fall apart mid-drive not due to a collision. Session red flagged.

Esteban Ocon loses a big chunk of sidepod 🤯
The debris litters the start-finish straight, so the session is paused as clean-up begins#BahrainGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/ZHWKqIIZzr

FP1 observations.
- Ferrari looking very strong. P2 and P3 for LEC and SAI
- Russell P4 for Merc with a strong lap on softs
- McLaren P16, P17
- Bottas gets awful start to AR era with no recorded hot laps due to engine misfire problems
- AT looks good in first session with P1, P9 for GAS, TSU
Poor Valteri,as he only gets two out laps. I think he is going to struggle this year with Alfa Romeo. I could see him trying to get out of his contract and try to get back with a Red Bull or Alpha Tauri in 2023
- Mercedes still experiencing bouncing, as well as Alpine
Adding one note, even though Merc finally did put up an ok lap.
Just started FP1. So far I'm liking the new graphics package for the broadcast.
FP2 is already more enjoyable than FP1 simply by hearing the voices of Croft and Hill.
Merc and Alpine still bouncing.

Someone smarter than me, how much of this is caused by the higher front wing? What can be changed in the set up to eliminate the bouncing?tailgatetimer10 said:

It is from the cycle of the rear of the car lowering to the ground due to the downforce enough to reduce the flow thru the diffuser, losing downforce due to the reduced flow which raises the rear back up, and then starting the cycle over. Somewhat solved by raising the static height of the rear, but then you lose some of the initial rear downforce.
near term, the only way to fix this is tightening the suspension...
Note from FP2 on broadcast.
Ferrari-powered cars were 5 out of Top 10 in FP2.

This video explains it pretty well.Richard Zane said:Someone smarter than me, how much of this is caused by the higher front wing? What can be changed in the set up to eliminate the bouncing?tailgatetimer10 said:

Yeah. That caught my attention. Especially because Haas was two of the 5.

Near the end, "Looks like he disappears in a puff of smoke"
Would love to see Mick score some points for Haas this year.
Alfa got the car working for Valteri! Does anyone like me listen to the F1 Nation podcast every Tuesday with Pinks, Hill and Clarkson? That is a cant miss for me on Tuesday mornings!
In for the new season. Just catching up with fp1 and fp2 this morning. Can't wait!!!
Haas has a lot going for it this year. Mick is no longer a rookie. Mazespin is gone. Magnussen will be a solid performer for them as well as a role model for Mick. Haas is also now in a season that won't be a "throwaway" like last year. They have targeted 2022 as a year to make a step up, and through two practices, they seem to be doing so.PWestAg18 said:

I didn't know about that podcast until your post. I'll be sure to check it out.

Same. Added to my alert list.
Raising the ride height will definitely help, but it will have impacts on cornering speeds and lap time due to loss of downforce.Richard Zane said:Someone smarter than me, how much of this is caused by the higher front wing?

I listen to the show every week during the season too. I also listed to the Shift F1 podcast that comes out every Wednesday too. Lots of good insight in both of those shows.
I was worried they were going to "focus on 2022" and then have it blow up in their face and the team collapse. Hopefully the good results in FP2 aren't a fluke.Gladiator 96 said:Haas has a lot going for it this year. Mick is no longer a rookie. Mazespin is gone.

Losing the Mazepin family is definitely addition by subtraction.
I just dont see him in a Red Bull, think he replaces Vettel or Riccardo at the end of the season. He's too good for Alfa Romeo and those two teams have Mercedes engines so I think Toto puts in a good word for him.Brad 98 said:

He'd be especially good as a number two again for Norris. Watching Drive to Survive seems like Lando and Riccardo arent hitting it off and Norris is the future for McLaren
Thanks for the notes... Gasly is such a stud, I selfishly hope he gets paired with LeClerc at Ferrari. He shouldn't consider driving under Horner again. That dude wrecked his confidence.Gladiator 96 said:

Also glad to see McLaren struggle
Don't expect drive to survive to accurately portray driver relationships. Daniel and Lando get a long pretty well, just like Lando and Carlos, and Daniel and Max unlike was implied in season 1.Spaceball 1 said:I just dont see him in a Red Bull, think he replaces Vettel or Riccardo at the end of the season.

Peter Windsor's comparison of long run lap times between RB, Ferrari, & Merc is below. If this holds then RB has a large gap on the rest of the field.
F2 and F3 off to a crazy start as well. Both Premas didn't qualify in the Top 10 for F3, and in F2 Hauger is on like P13 or 14 (he also blocked Vips but got away with a reprimand).
I'm extremely excited to see if the Mercs are sandbagging or the car is really not on form to go vs RB and Ferrari

F1 has its own complete production crew. They put out a single pool feed that all broadcasters carry and lay their commentary on top of.Gladiator 96 said:

Hamilton finally produces a decent lap on the Merc. Only 0.08 off of Max.
Russell goes quickest over Max!
