I am looking forward to this one. In recent years the races there have been quite enjoyable, and I'm hoping this one will be as well. It's usually good in the middle pack. Anyway, let's hope Kimi nails this one as well

a long wait for the race after malaysia.i hope its a normal race so we can see the real 2008 order.kimi should win this one if his ferrari is reliable to finish the weekend.

Raja Hassan Bin Naeem.

should be Kimi's race if no technical/mechanical problems.

I replace all the "Kimi's" in this thread by "Hamilton". However "Kovalainen" or "Massa" should be possible as well.

Actually, i do believe Massa to win here, (ofcourse from pole, if he doesn't get pole, he won't)

THE SIG


Felipe Massa, World Champion 15:34:11pm- 15:34:21pm.

What like the last GP? Massa's a driver under pressure and imo he should try and finish the race rather than fight Kimi and risk going off again.

agree!

Yep, should be good this one, sadly i won't be able to watch the practice sessions due to school, couldn't just finish it on Friday @ 11.15 when its half term rather than 1.15 :|

I imagine more spins... remember that the track isn´t used very much during the year and if it has wind during the sessions the sand will invade the track i think...

Ferrari not bringing their new nose to Bahrain but may do so at Barcelona. The nose which has a cut in it was tested at Vairano last week.

Yeah, Domenicalli said they are more worried about reliability at the moment, as their pace in Malaysia was a lot better than they expected. Kimi put the revs down before his first pitstop.

When mclaren done this in Monaco they were told off for race fixing lol. Anyway best not go there.

If Kimi's car stays in 1 peace I do not see anyone getting close. Massa has sand on the track this weekend he is so gonna spin lol.

The Difference there, was in Monaco, the two McLarens could have fought it out for a win. With Kimi in Malaysia, he wasnt racing anyone, as he knew once he got infront of Massa he was going to pull away.

Well, both Ferrari drivers put their revs down. So if Massa hadn't binned the car on the sand, he could've gone after Kimi, but I don't think that's likely McLaren specifically told their drivers to not fight for the win and that's the issue there. If they had only asked for them to put the revs down and let them fight, it would not have been a problem...although, I don't see a problem either way, heh.

yeah both of them did put the revs down as everyone knew Kimi was on for the clear win. I do not see massa spinning this weekend as he has load of pressure on his shoulders for spinning in Oz and then Malaysia as the Italian press are certainly going to be on the verge of having a rage if he does do it. Only time will tell...

yep, it's better for him not to push too much, take it easy this weekend and finish one race, at least not to focus on challenging kimi and being faster than him, that would put him on the sand again

would love to see Nick win, but very unlikely, but i do hope to see Jenson score a point or two

cheers!

Thank God, they looked like a bloody B team or something without it.
