The emotions I was feeling during this race were heavily mixed, like it took me a little to finally feel happy for Charles lol.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he finally won again, but McLaren with their shit strategy calls just... take the wind out of everything, I guess. It's hard being a McLaren AND Ferrari fan🥹

Anyways, see y'all in Baku!

Bahrain GP 2024!

Mads' Race Recap!

Right, so, I'll do this in teams (in standings order) so that I'm not just waffling until the world caves in.

Red Bull - Not much to say really, if I'm honest. Simply lovely from Max, Checo did what was expected, so good job there. Good race from them, and getting to see a smiling Max at the end of the day is always nice.

Ferrari - Well well well Mr Carlos Sainz what was that you cheeky thing! DOTD truly deserved there by our one and only smoothest of operators, and (my Charles heart hurts to say this) that overtake on Charles was really lovely... so was the one on George. I reckon he could've gotten to Checo for the P2 if there was more time, but hey. I was getting Monza flashbacks during the Charlos battle, since I was absolutely terrified they were going to kill each other off. And Charles must be the single unluckiest man on this goddamn planet. I know he's partial to a lock up every now and then, but that car was trying to kill him. How does he always have some sort of problem? And why do they always reply with 'We are checking'?! Infuriating. How can he go from having a perfectly good car less than 24 hours ago, to suddenly having brake problems during the first race of the bloody season!?Very nice with fighting George though, that was lovely. This man's quali pace is absolutely mental, as well. A 1.29.165 compared to Max's 1.29.190 might not sound like a lot, but pushing that Ferrari past the rocket ships fastest quali laps is mental. It's so impressive. Hoping for some more poles we can turn into wins. Overall, very impressed with the Scuderia today, if they keep it up and Checo crashes and burns like he did last season, we might have some fights for some more podiums... and hopefully another win. Oh yeah and fastest pit stop. Good job guys.

Mercedes - Can someone please tell me what was going on there? George started off really nicely, but then the pace just dropped and dropped and dropped and Charles overtook him pretty easily, even with brake problems, although George did lock up. And then he dropped back off Charles even more once he was in front. Lewis had battery problems, but then there weren't any problems, he had just used it too much, but then he did have problems so I don't have a scooby doo about what that was about. And his seat broke... I kinda laughed at that, I can't lie. Pretty average performance from both, expected more from Lewis, especially since he was predicted pole-sitter.

McLaren - They were definitely the team I heard the least of this race. I think the overtakes on Fernando were very nice, but I don't really have much to comment on because I never really saw much from Lando or Oscar. They were kinda just... there. They aren't quite where they were at the end of last season, but I think they can come back to fighting for the top spots pretty quickly.

Aston Martin - Fernando just let people go past him, and I understand it since he didn't want to push and get his engine to overheat. But, I don't really think Fernando Alonso is a 9th place driver, if I'm being totally honest. The Aston is either really good, or below where it should be, and it can change on a whim. It's a very strange car. I do feel bad for Lance though. That collision with Nico at the start wasn't his fault, but I think the lack of pace would have hindered him anyway. I don't really think that it mattered that he finished behind Fernando, since I think Lance had less pace overall from the Nico incident, even if it wasn't by much. But I would like to know why he had such a nice lap at the start of Q2, then by the end it was elimination worthy times. Like I said, the Aston changes on a whim.

Kick Sauber - Right, I'll start off with Valtteri. What the hell was that pitstop can someone please help that poor man and the wheel nuts! That was a travesty. I guess he just likes his really long pistops, but it also definitely screwed up his race. Ending up 40 seconds behind the rest of the pack is far from ideal, but it wasn't as bad as someone's technical issue (see Williams section for more detail ☠). Honestly, I think Valtteri is just pulling a Kimi. Drive until you want to, if you do shit it's OK, if you do well, great job. Not complaining though. Now, Guanyu Zhou, that was a very lovely drive. The car isn't where the top teams are, and they make up the top 10 anyway, so P11 is a very good, and he had a very nice race over all.

Haas - Kevin was just... Kevin, you know? He completed the backmarkers bench, and had a lovely time while doing it. Lucky not to get overtaken by Daniel at the end, but I really can't think of a time where Kevin has really stood out apart from the wonder of Brazil Qualis 2022. Oh, and the shaved legs. Now, onto the man himself, Nico Hulkenberg. There was no way he was doing any better than 10th in Q3, so props to him for even getting there to begin with. The collision with Lance was uncalled for, and then from there he kinda screwed himself over. He could've easily kept 10th, maybe 11th with Stroll in a faster car and stayed there, but no. He did a Nico thing. I don't even know how to explain what that is, but dying his hair blonde for the Barbie movie fits into that category.

VCARB/RB/REDBULLSHITTYEDITION - Here I was thinking that the RB would be a best of the rest car. Boy was I wrong. Again, I didn't really see much of Yuki or Daniel, apart from that horrendous shit show at the end. Yuki was fuming, Daniel didn't sound overly enamoured, and he didn't have time to overtake Kevin anyway, so it was pointless. Didn't do anything in regards to points, so that is helpful. I feel like RB will favour Daniel because he is the more experienced of the two, but whatever they did today was a bad call, in my opinion. It should have been earlier so that Daniel (and then maybe Yuki) could have overtaken Kevin. Yuki is very funny, yet scary when he's mad though.

Williams - Deary me that was not a good start to the season. The new steering wheels were a bad idea, and Logan's just decided it didn't want to play racing car today and sent the poor guy five years behind the rest of the pack. I can't really comment on his racing this week, since he wasn't really doing much racing... he just had to let the front runners past, which isn't his fault at all. Pulled some nice quali laps, in Q1, even if he was eliminated. On a good day, Alex Albon is a points scoring, very very good driver, even in a car that is definitely not supposed to get him there. Today was not that day. One minute he was there, the next he was P15. Poor guy, honestly. This week just wasn't his week.

Alpine - Right, don't yell at me, but this is funny as hell. Alpine being so shit is just so funny to me I don't know why. Nothing against Pierre and Estie Bestie, but it just sends me. Are they going to pull a McLaren? I don't think so, but they can give it a good go. I don't know why the car is so shit, but it just is and there is nothing anyone can do for next week, and the guys at the factory are probably scrambling to try and fix it. I do like the pink writing on their graphics, it's very nice. And at least they occupy 2 slots in the Q1 elimination zone so that my boys can probably get through, even if they do shit in qualis (please not another S-pain incident I beg).

I think next time I'll do a quali recap and a race recap, so that I don't have bits of each sprinkles throughout. And here is to the first of our 2024 season! 🍾🎇
