Listening to those engines, I still get a woody.

Also, how quick is an F1?

Just one video:

(Skip to 5:33 for the race start)

Red Bull F1 vs V8 Supercar vs C63 AMG (2014, Melbourne Australia) - YouTube

[Jeff '79]

Quite a wild and clean start.
It was 3 wide in a corner at one point. :drivingskid::drivingskid::drivingskid:

Great start by Vettel, happy to see some tight racing and chasing at the front for a change.

Go VETTEl :)

[Thunder22]

Wow, Verstappen out already with brake failure.

[Thunder22]

Sainz and Stroll got into one another... what a whacky race by lap 14

[Thunder22]

Alonso just went with primes, maybe with all of this attrition up front he can grab some points...

[Thunder22]

Holy Cow!!! Wheel to wheel racing with passing by the top 2 cars!!!! What race series is this!!!! Awesome!

Vettel and Botas going at it and Riciardo/Hamilton and now Kimi all involved.

This is what F1 should be.

[Jeff '79]

Wow is right!!!:drivingskid::drivingskid:

Vettel gets Raikkonen for second on L36, and begins the charge on Hamilton. Has already gained 2 seconds on Hamilton. #F1onNBC #BahrainGP

Too much to over come... Anticlimactic end but a great race.

Vettel FTW.

Heck of a race! While I'm a Hamilton fan, it's nice to finally see them having some competition & Ferrari back on top. And the cars are FAST this year. :yesnod::cert:

For F1 that was a "money shot" race :) There was actual passing and wheel to wheel racing by the front runners, it almost brings a tear to my eye.
