Bahrain Grand Prix
 
Its not looking good for the Brits. We occupy the bottom four places after LH (Lewis Hamilton, not me) bumps into Alonso, his old sparring partner, at the very start of the race. It looks like another bad day at the office already.

Yep, he's at the back of the field 10 secs behind Davison.... crapola. Pray for a safety car.

Lewis is doing a great job of carving his way through the field - especially considering the damage on his car. He won't win but he might get into the points....

Looks like Kimi is making a challenge on Massa - Ferrari 1/2 it looks like. Kaivolinen isn't doing a lot with his McLaren...

Looks like Massa will take it. Kimi will lead the drivers championship, BMW constructors....

Poor day for McLaren... :(

Well with all the changes this years its anyones guess on who will take it at the end of the year.

But Massa takes this one.

Yep - the Bahrain circuit seems to suit him.... Nice to see BMW making a strong challenge; it will be a good season. Kovalainen managed the fastest lap of the race so the MP4 has legs - let's see if they can do something with it.....
