2007 Bahrain GP, Bahrain International Circuit

[Daniel Lee]

Who will win this weekend 2007 Bahrain GP?
Will it be reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso,
Lewis Hamilton the sensational rookie,
Ferrari Iceman, Kimi Raikkonen,
Ferrari number one driver, Felipe Massa or
the underrated german of BMW Sauber, Nick Heidfeld?

Too competitive. I can't predict. haha

 

[Daniel Lee]

Both McLaren and Ferrari's drivers get new engines this weekend.
We can really see how the two teams go against each other fairly...without engine worries. :)

 

[Daniel Lee]

The Top 5 Drivers for Friday afternoon practice at from Sakhir:
1. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
2. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)
3. Robert Kubica (BMW-Sauber)
4. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
5. Fernando Alonso (McLaren-Mercedes)

The gap between Raikkonen's fastest lap time and Hamilton's is only 0.013s!

They don't ban cigarettes but alcohols.
Time for McLaren to put out one of their sponsor's stickers.

Massa flying, Alonso n Kimi i think they have quite alot of fuel on car, Lewis also show solid performance, how can he be so good so soon?NIck...he was good as well

was the broadcast delayed or live?shouldn't it be live?i dun like watching the live from Astro..commentator not as good as MArtin n james, i like info from Martin n James..they are good...

Looks like team with Cigarrate sponsorship has their sticker on again huh...its been awhile since the last time we saw MArlboro on the Red Ferrari

 

[Daniel Lee]

I think both Lewis and Felipe are on low fuel.
The battle for today would be Lewis VS Felipe and Fernando VS Kimi.

TV2 will have it delayed.

Ferrari nicks it this time. I'd say Massa had a really consistent race thruout the first and second pitstop. Hamilton on the other hand had a great first stint and then he faded after the first pitstop where he couldn't keed up with Massa. When the second pitstop came, he was too far away to challenge with Massa. End of the day, the consistency of Ferrari pays off. Great job by Massa. This time he doesn't screw up.

Alonso had a race to forget. I was expecting him to pit real late and make a late charge but he was nowhere near even his team mate, let alone the Ferraris. In fact he was beaten even by the BMW. Hamilton on the other hand had a great race. He's quick and doesn't make that much mistakes. A great driver in the making.

Quick Nick is very consistent for the past 3 races.

 

[keithkeat]

nick/bmw got very realizable car....hope in euro also same......

nice nice over take alonso........huahuahuha.........

 

[Edward Chew]

Seems like Alonso and Kimi had wrong settings...

 

[keithkeat]

me also think same.....cause kimi seem not happy in the podium like same face in sepang only.........lol

 

[BlackSamurai]

Alonso, Hamilton and Kimi both have 22 pts in their pocket. Great.

 

[prodigy]

I hope the points standings hover around like this till later on the season. It would be great seeing a 3 horse race battle till the end.

Kimi looked quite fast IMO. He just didn't do it right during qualifying. As for Alonso, its obvious he was struggling for whatever reasons. He didn't have the speed and was left to battle for 4th and 5th position. I'm surprise Hamilton did much better. At least he was battling hard for 1st position early on.

 

[BlackSamurai]

the overtaking between the top 5 is simply great after the 5 red lights go off!!

Starting of the race...LEwis gv much pressure on MAssa..but Ferrari perform well in fresh air,after the first pit..Lewis performance drop, he said that the car not balance in the press confrence after the race. but soon after 2nd pit, hard tire on, he performance suddenly resurfaced, chasing down Massa butt.just run out of laps...lol..but anyway...Lewis are good...

Kimi dun seems have the speed to keep up, the most stunning overtake i would say was NIck, he pull it round the outside, aggresively(nothing to lose,Alonso cant afford to lose point for acc) wheel to wheel. and Trulli too pull some great overtake.

The man in this Bahrain Gp, David Coultard...i never saw him like this since long long time ago...when he wearing superman costum, bad luck his car drive shaft gave way.Anthony davidson too, he drove well.
Rosberg...out of the track so many time he use the tarmac to become part of the race track...lol..nearly kissed his teamate back.
sakhir, wat a nice circuit, so much overtaking opportunity...exciting race....compared to Sepang...
Kimi face look really bad on the podium,lets hope him do great in next round
