Bahrain Grand Prix: Driver of the Day - Vote Now!

This reply is in response to apex11 and does not contain a lap by lap breakdown of Vettel's performance (despite it's length 
). Please feel free to skip over this
You were hardly "ripped apart", in my opinion. Perhaps I could of been more diplomatic with my wording. Maybe 'delicate' or 'sensitive' would of been more appropriate?
I've quoted your comments and the full text of exactly what Paul was asking for down below. I wouldn't of known you voted for Gasly as you've not hinted that in any of your replies prior to my original comment. There's a general Bahrain GP Discussion (and a Moto GP!) as well as threads floating about, discussing stuff like the halo, you could of instead used to more effect.
I don't think Paul and the writing staff need you to contribute hot takes on how F1 just ain't Moto GP and the Halo doesn't prevent stuff it wasn't actually designed to protect against. Paul asks two questions before he asks for comments, neither of which you answered in your comments (although in fairness both questions are answered by a person's vote). I've always assumed Paul is asking for on-topic replies. He doesn't ask "How did the Halos inabilty to protect a Ferrari pit crew member affect Bottas' race? Leave a comment" etc.
I appreciate topics will often stray off topic but it seemed like you were intent on steering the thread off-topic (which we've now both made worse).
Here's Paul's opening statement and your replies:
Whilst I probably disagree with you on F1 I'll respect your right to an opinion. And happy to have a discussion on why we differ. But please, can I click on a thread called "driver of the day" and talk about driver performances without having the halo shoe horned into it for no productive reason?
Not wanting to drag this off-topic further, feel free to PM me if you still feel it needs discussing.

Yup definitely Gasly and Honda. Really curieus what their pace wil be next race!
oh yes it was.
if you could see the last 15 laps on Vettel onbard camera....
This man is gifted.
Forza Ferrari avanti Sebastian, what a great day Sunday was!
It's pretty clear to see that Honda are a massive and very skilled manufacturer, pretty clear that they came into F1 at a time when Merc were dominating and supplying engines to half the grid, al be it watered down versions of the factory team but still better engines than Honda...
But they were always going to need few seasons to develop it and I think McLaren jumped too soon, they should of stuck with it IMO, they have tested an engine for a season with possibly the greatest natural driver of his generation...and Torro Rosso have got it at a knock down price...
Problem TR have though is Hartly is well out of his depth, yes he can get an F1 car around a track but with that aero and fat slicks of course he can...but he is just not good enough... this will hurt their results..
Couldn't agree more: McLaren was longing for a 'personal' engine supplier and now they went back to a lesser deal than before: Renault instead of mercedes. Talking of being shortsighted...
Gasly die pretty welk but I also have serious doubts about hartley.
