Don't be worried guys !
Next weekend the Merc's pace will be even faster ..
Other parts of the Bahrain circuit will be used in Bahrain-part 2 (Sakhir-GP)
In other words : Now the longer straights will be part of the track .
By the longer straights the Merc's advantage is even bigger by the Merc's higher topspeed !
Last weekend MAX could it hold up (a little bit) but he had to ran with lack of wing and downforce .
MAX had to run with a lack of grip ,in a dangerous situation to gain in topspeed ..
But HAM ran out of sight anyway.. That's how fast the Merc W11 actually is !
Next weekend for MAX , run with lower downforce won't enough anymore . Because the Mercs will run also with lower downforce to get an even higher topspeed on the longer straights .
Max said today (PM) : At Sakhir our topspeed is not high enough . I don't expect anything at Sakir !
Congrats for HAM at Sakhir guys !
