Guess the Pole 2019: Bahrain[+Results]

[XcraigX]

The second race is a better test of early season form. The uniqueness of the semi-street track in Australia does not always bring out the best of all the teams. This dedicated track should show us if there is a huge gap to Mercedes or if it was a fluke.

Some really interesting guesses out there... and I see some pretty ambitious laptimes too!

[XcraigX]

I'm sticking with 1:01.001. A new record will be set!

Is that faster than Dijon? I thought that was a sub 1 minute lap.

Edit: Just checked. 1974 Niki Lauda posted a 58.79 in qualifying in the French GP at Dijon. The top 12 were all sub 1 minute. The whole grid of those that qualified was sub 1.01.

Fastest race lap at Dijon that year was Scheckter in a Tyrrell with 1.00.000 (1 minute flat)

[Tom]

Well damn it.

Nice one Kals...

[John]

I really expected them to be faster, especially after the practice sessions. Oh well.

Well done to the finest New Jersian since Tony Soprano.

Celebrations are in order - meet me at the Bada Bing!

[MonteCristo]

Definitely shower than I thought they'd be after practice - I thought my time would be slow even, but all good. Congrats!

This weeks winner is Kals with a time 0.745 seconds away from Chalres Leclerc's pole time of 1:27.866! Great job getting in the range there Kals!
I would imagine this is where Ferrari are applauding themselves for signing Leclerc. It's been years since we had any other names aside from Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas, and Verstappen.
