Mismatched cockpit. Massive pressure not to crash -- would have been an almost unrecoverable weekend setback. Fastest in both sessions.

And I underestimated this circuit. Unconventional, bumpy, doesn't look easy. Car familiarity should have been even more valuable for BOT.

Yeah guys . It's Russell and not the car . A new GOAT is born !

Makes me think about last year when LeCrash started to win races with the Ferrari Jet-Mode .
And suddenly LeCrash was the greatest upcoming talent in F1 ! LMFAO

Russell said It's tight , but with smaller shoes it feels better .
As we can see , he's doing really well . Respect for him , because for him It's a complete new car .
Yeah , the Sakhir oval won't be easy . They run with lack of downforce to get a higher top speed .
BOT runs now 3 years in the Merc . RUS is only 22 with 0 driver points and he drives the Merc faster and better .
BOT has to go....Same for Albon .

Russell is a tight fit in the cockpit, having smaller shoes may give you cramp.HAM complained about leg cramp in a previous race.

Perhaps she/he was wearing high heels ?

If HAM and VER ever happen to be in a true title fight, this place is going to go up in flames. Should be fun.

On a serious note : Ham's cramps can have been the first signs of COVID .

Anyway , feel sorry for HAM . So close to the end of this season while he took it all ...
HAM won't be happy to see RUS beat BOT ...

Mate this place burned already the whole season ! It's like a cage fight vs "Conor McGregor"
And we're not done "Yet" !

But hey ! As MAX said :The challenge remains open !

LMFAO

I see most willing to concede the w11 is the superior chassis, from my perspective without a dog in the fight, I see the disagreement about drivers and talent (VER vs HAM). I just simply haven't seen anyone speak less of the W11 than superior and if they have, clearly they don't pay attention.

He said his times were deceiving and that Max was v quick on the straights thanks to RB knowhow.
Can't believe what's happening to BOT,locking up and going off the track.. just thinking that he could be over worried about covid with his teammate affected.

LEC routinely gets more out of the Ferrari than his 4-time WDC teammate. Oh, wait, that's because of cheating again. Mea culpa.

LeCrash and SEB are not driving with the same machinery.
SEB had to drive the half of the season with a chassis from WWII .Later they saw SEB's chassis had defects ?!?!
SEB is been and still is sabotaged .
The damn Italian MAF ....

I wouldn't trust LeCrash and Binotto for a sec.
SEB will (hopefully) speak when this season is over ...

Of course the 11 is seemingly superior in conjunction with a few additional extras to manage it being quicker when needed. Russell said that the times were deceiving and could change tomorrow with Max's speed on the straights.

Well well just seen that Wolff is not happy and is worried that the long run pace of the 16 will be better..that runs with what Russell was saying that his pace was 'deceiving'.

BOT isn't worried about HAM . F1 is like a war to survive .

Toto just said : HAM isn't follow the race ,isn't watching the race .
HAM is too sick and in his bed ...It's really bad luck .

It would be nice if Red Bull would give Albon the same machinery as Verstappen. Maybe he could find pace then.

I wonder how HAM caught it, slipped up somewhere with all the ppl he meets, we all read that some catch it easier than others, if he isn't even watching race then it must be bad for him and wish him a speedy recovery.
I had a blood test two weeks ago and no issues,I'll be asking doctor what blood group I am.

Albon can not drive the RB16 with such a low downforce ( less wing ) to get a higher top speed .
No one can do this better than MAX , that's why MAX is faster in combo with his driver skills .
That's why MAX complains a lot regarding the lack of grip .
Of course the RB16 remains the underdog and the Merc W11 the fastest car of the decade .

Evidence ? How many times Albon crashed during FP's and QF with less of wing , just to be faster ..

Last week !
