What more can a Tiffosi ask for: Ferrari 1-2 @ Baharain, Kimi is leading the WC and Massa is back in hunt for WC.

Start was gr8 for Massa as he took the lead easily despite being on the dirties side of the track and there after he looked unbeatable.

Kimi had his moment when the fellow finn jumped to 3rd, but he pulled off 2 good moves to finish 2nd.

Hamilton had a bad start and to make the matter worse, had a collision with FA. Well, its upto u to decide who is to be blamed for the incident.

Kubica, as i predicted was light on fuel and did his best to finish 3rd.

Looking forward to Barcelona now.

Guys one thing we must not ignore is Fisichella finishing 12th in Force India

This is the range in which he was consistently finishing last year in Renault

I know its too premature to say but optimist inside me is shouting that this car may be comparable to Renault

what u say guys


The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

Well Hamilton's not blaming Alonso, saying it was racing incident and Alonso says Hamilton was 'too eager':

HAMILTON KEEN TO MOVE ON | Sporting Life - F1 News | Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Mosley, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren, Renault, Reports, Results & Standings

So that's the end of that i suppose.
Tho i still think Alonso was too blame there. Unfortunately the only conclusive proof of whether he did brake-test there is in the Renault's telemetry and unless Mclaren make a complaint, the marshal's are not going to scrutinize that so I don't think anything will happen now.

Re: [2008]F1 Season - 07-04-2008, 06:56 AM

wow wow wow !!! what a race !!! Ferrari Ferrari BWM BWM ... Massa - mast yaar

Ferrari again showing their dominance with Massa leading the race from start till finish, though the commentators(me too ) were not sure enough whether he'll finish the race till the last lap

Kimi : Great to see the overtaking maneuver on Kubica for second podium finish in a row.

BMWs : They have again shown they are a force to reckon this season and are now leading the constructors standings.

Hamilton : Bad start...bad race...and to add insult to injury a crash, involving Alonso

Force India : Well it took Hamilton 3 laps to overtake Fisichella's Force India...Good finish for Fisichella....and good to see both the cars completing the race...

This season is going to be awesome...

Sutil is driving from bad to worse.. His laptimes were a sec slower than Fisichella

Liuzzi was definitely a better option

It was nice to see Fisi taking on Hamilton. Hamilton's hand waving when overtaking Fisi tell you a lot about his character, i believe.

The only surprise was Kimi's lack of pace - looking at his qualifying pace I'd thought maybe he was carrying extra fuel for the race but it turns out he was ligther than Massa even...just an off-day and off-weekend really for Raikonnen.

BMW's pace was in itself not unexpected but what was surprising was their clear superiority over Mclaren..they have some serious work to do in the next 3 weeks, but looks like the race for 2nd place is well and truly on!

Rest as expected, tho I have to give discredit to Alonso for his incident with Hamilton - that clearly looked like he was brake testing Lewis! I think he deserves a bit of censure there...
I guess Raikko was using the same engine as the one used by him in Sepang..and others were using the new engine..so obviously ferrari engineers must have tweaked the engine parameters bringing down horse power and stuff so that it can last for the whole race. But still quite a surprising race from Mclaren point of view..i expected much better from them..Lewis after the collision was put on 1 stop strategy but gosh he could not even overtake force india car..it took him 3 laps to do that..finished miserable 13th..as for Heikki he did set the fastest lap of the race but all too late...BMW as expected did well in qualifying but failed to repeat the same in the race...but i am quite sure that BMW will surely come with a win this season..they definitely are equivalent to Mclaren this season..Good show by Force India..Great driving by Fisichella...Another flop show by Alonso..guess he surely needs to move to some competitive team like BMW if he wants to achieve podium finishes...I was particularly impressed by Toyota the most..last season was a nightmare for them but they seem to have improved a lot..they are definitely better than Renault, Red Bull and can definitely try to finish fourth overall. We have a long wait now of 3 weeks as the Race Season moves to Europe...I am hoping for a top finish by Raikko with his new ferrari engine that he can opt for in next race..

P.S Just a small trivia for Raikko fans - In Bahrain 2006, Räikkönen suffered electronic problems during Friday practice and a rear suspension breakage during the first qualifying session, which forced him back to 22nd place on the grid. Nevertheless he drove through the field, ending third behind Alonso and Michael Schumacher.
