Bahrain never really suited Mark, still I expect a comeback from him.

Hurray for two DRS zones that are not interlinked. :clapclap:

yay for 2 drs zones, one to negate a legit pass and the other to negate that.

I wish they would atleast trial one round without DRS.

Dudes, Bahrain without DRS would be like wagons trying to race each other in one train. :chair::chair:

Ferrari on target for my prediction so far.

P.S. The second DRS zone will be very interesting as it's not a really super simple corner you make the overtake into.

It's true the 2nd DRS zone at Bahrain is a very good placement but they said DRS would allow a slower car to be passed but another DRS zone following allows that slower car to repass (not the case for Bahrain really but meh). So the FIA muted their own point.
