Round 3 - The official Bahrain GP thread
So will the Ferrari's dominate?
1st Practice
KIMI ALMOST ONE SECOND FASTER THAN THE FIELD! - half a second faster than team mate too. Ferrari ruling...
1 Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari 1:33.162
2 Felipe Massa Ferrari 1:33.679
3 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1:34.110
4 Fernando Alonso McLaren-Mercedes 1:34.161
5 Jarno Trulli Toyota 1:34.896
6 Nick Heidfeld BMW 1:35.076
7 Robert Kubica BMW 1:35.248
8 Vitantonio Liuzzi STR-Ferrari 1:35.292
9 Nico Rosberg Williams-Toyota 1:35.375
10 Alexander Wurz Williams-Toyota 1:35.398
11 Jenson Button Honda 1:35.445
12 Heikki Kovalainen Renault 1:35.474
13 Ralf Schumacher Toyota 1:35.573
14 Giancarlo Fisichella Renault 1:35.697
15 Scott Speed STR-Ferrari 1:35.726
16 Takuma Sato Super Aguri-Honda 1:35.856
17 Rubens Barrichello Honda 1:35.911
18 Anthony Davidson Super Aguri-Honda 1:36.243
19 Mark Webber Red Bull-Renault 1:36.483
20 David Coulthard Red Bull-Renault 1:36.513
21 Adrian Sutil Spyker-Ferrari 1:37.084
22 Christijan Albers Spyker-Ferrari 1:38.258
*Interesting that Button hauled the Honda up to 11th! - Liuzzi was most impressive though, as the "A" team were just shit in 19/20 positions.
2nd Practice
Hamilton closes the gap enormously. Kubica has a fast run too. Jenson is at the back. Don't know if he had problems or not But he was 3 seconds off the pace! Wurz did ok, and so too Coulthard this time.

Hope Jenson's got someting to take his stress out on - the true "B" spec Honda isn't due till June... The inside of his motorhome must be taking a right battering at the moment...

I doubt he'll be on pole, but the media here are saying, a 3rd, a 2nd, can he go one better! lol.
Damon Hill think's he will defnitely win this year, I think that whilst he has the package too, I don't think he will. Massa / Alonso / Raikkonen will only win, it feels like that, I don't know why.
I think McLaren will be keeping this line up for at least 2 years now. Maybe a change around 2010 if that.

I, who didn't saw the race, think that the race was average. I just saw the safty car in one picture. Did the new rules of the FIA worked?
(I mean the rule with the cars that were overtaken by the leader which are allowed to "reround" themselfe.)

It's just embarrasing for Honda and our other japanese friends how bad they are...

The race was better than average in my eyes. A lot of action, nice moves of DC, Nico, Trulli etc.. There was a lot of action.
Red Bull would have deserved points today.
Who is Jenson Button? - Lewis Hamilton rocks! --> Honda = desaster.
Massa: "Fantastico"!!! Very sympathic guy, I'm really happy for him.
Superb performance of Nick Heidfeld!!
Too bad we have to wait 4 weeks now...

It was a shame Coulthard's car didn't last the distance, I'm not a big fan of him but he was superb today. Heidfeld looked good too, and it was nice to see some proper overtaking for once! All in all, a decent race.

I like how close things seem to be both between Ferrari/McLaren and within the teams between the two drivers. And with BMW/Heidfeld added to the mix, this season is and should continue to be interesting.
Let's see if Renault, Red Bull, Toyota and Honda manage to make something of the month of no races that's in front of us right now...

AWESOME! Fkin Awesome for Lewis to make history. In the UK though it's getting stupid. It's all about him. I don't want no German style Schumi loving coverage. We have 3 other UK drivers, several UK teams, and a fantastic field of multi-national drivers.
The ITV crew have started becoming contradictory. They said "Let's not get carried away" in the frist GP, then by Malaysia they were saying he could win a GP this year and now in Bahrain they're saying he can win the title. It's like "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN". Let him race his season. Idiots.

Interesting to note (for me anyway) that we've had three different race winners in the first three races... That doesn't happen too often...

... and I guess one of these 3 will win the next race as well. But if Hamilton should win, he'll also get world champion.
