2017 Bahrain

2017 Russian Grand Prix Race Weekend Discussion Thread
by John

We need better thread titles for the race threads. So I’ve took it upon myself to start this one.

After the Bahrain tests, Mercedes looks to have the upper hand going into this race.

Ferrari Moscow the extra mile now if they want to prevent Mercedes Russian’ off into the distance.
But I am sure the Scuderia will Putin some extra effort. Let’s just hope the piss-poor Raikkonen won’t be Stalin’ on the grid this time.

Fri 28 Apr – Sun 30 Apr 2017
Practice 1 Fri 11:00 – 12:30
