GP Bahrain : Bore-Rain GP

Membosankan. Itulah yang dikata rata-rata peminat F1 dan jugak mereka-mereka yang terlibat dengan F1.

Today was not the best show, we know that and we have all got to work together to improve it. - Martin Whitmarsh 

The FIA and teams must look at the problem urgently and see what can be tweaked. The sport is in danger of missing out on its greatest bonanza. There are four champions on the grid, all in competitive cars. The racing should be sparkling rather than as dry as the desert. - Akhbar The Sun dan Daily Mail (bukan keluaran Malaysia)

"unanimous" that Bahrain "was deadly dull" - France's L'Equipe

Next time I will take with me something to read. - Adrian Sutil's father Jorge

We have so much more downforce. You could follow cars in front then. You could slide up the inside. You could race. It's very different now. - Jenson Button

Masuk jam 8:40malam waktu Malaysia, aku terus tido, aku sedar jek race tinggal 14 lap lagi. - PaddockBox

Rata- rata menyifatkan peraturan baru yang tidak membenarkan isi minyak sewaktu pit stop telah menyebabkan perlumbaan menjadi begitu membosankan. Ada pula melihat bahawa masalah sebenar ialah setiap pelumba sebolehnya tidak mahu mengikuti terlalu rapat kenderaan di depan mereka. Ini disebabkan udara panas yang terhasil dari kereta depan boleh menyebabkan masalah overheating kepada enjin jentera yang mengikuti dibelakang.

Untuk mengurangkan masalah tersebut FIA telah bertindak untuk mengharamkan penggunaan Double Diffuser mulai tahun 2011. Bagi Martin Whitmarsh, selain masalah pengaliran udara panas yang dikeluarkan oleh double diffuser, faktor tayar juga telah menyumbang kepada keadaan perlumbaan yang membosankan.

I think that the tyres are allowing you to do that, I’m not trying to pass the blame (on to Bridgestone). We are all in this together. We do need to look at mandatings stops, we do need to look at the tyres and make them more fragile, and we do need to work on making the cars capable of racing close together and easier to overtake - Martin Whitmarsh

Tony dan LotusF1 mampu tersenyum puas setelah menewaskan Virgin Racing di perlumbaan pembukaan yang Bore-Rain.
