Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Agreed!! Good to see more teams (and drivers) coming to the party, other than just Ferrari and McLaren. Btw, it was great to see Fisichella hold back Hamilton for a while and make him sweat hard for the position. That Force India car surprised quite a few out there today. |

| ![]() A great race for Ferrari and all Ferrari Fans. Mad man Massa has finally got points under his wings. BMW is improving race by race. Im sure they would love to have atleast one win registered against their name in 2008 Season. And why is no one talking about Force India's 12th position? It was really nice to see Force India get so much coverage(even though Hamilton was behind it) And why was Hamilton showing hand gestures to Fisi? Just because he cant overtake ... And I guess another controversy, did Alonso lift off or was Hamilton in a hurry? I guess a replay of Alonso with Revv Counter to the left of the screen would answer all questions! Great win! Hope it continues in Spain too! |

| ![]() A great 1-2 by Ferrari in the race. Massa finally has kickstarted his season with a win at Sakir. A well driven race by him and nothing to be taken away from Kimi either. But I just loved Robert. He is definately future champion material. Nice to see BMW fighting it out with Ferrari and Mclaren, thats where they should be. A great race by Fisi to finish 12th. Force India is certainly going places . It was amazign to see Fisi keep Lewis behind him for 3 laps. Hope the red winning trend continues at Spain. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Massa has proved that he is Championship material, Kimi have to slog it out this season to retain his title! |

| ![]() That BMW is looking fast! Lets hope they are quick enough to win soon. We havent reached the European leg yet and look at the action we have seen already. Ces't magnifique! Clean and clinical from Massa. Kimi has learnt the collection game from Alonso it seems. The iceman has to up the ante in qualifying, something Massa has time and again trounced him at. |

| ![]() Massa was just dominating. He dominated the Practice, he dominated the Qualifying ( Almost ) and well, he just did exactly the same in the race. As far as Alonso v/s Hamilton battle goes, even Hamilton and McLaren admitted that it was Hamilton's error. Renault gave the best answer by handing over the telemetry. And in any case, it would have been a risk of Alonso and Renault, if Alonso would have brake tested. I mean, already they are struggling for each point and position, if it would have resulted in an bad accident, it would be race over Renault. Thats just my opinion. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Bahrain has an awesome track, so an eventful race was to be expected. Massa won the race, yes, but I am still not convinced on his all-round capability. He needs consistency more than anything else. The heroes of the day were the BMW's...what pace! They matched the Ferraris lap by lap for a majority of the race, and beat Mclaren by a mile. Is this the year for their first race win? I think so. Fisichella and Barri drove the pants of their cars, making them seem faster than they actually are. Ditto for Alonso who keeps the slow Renault around the 10th position irrespective of the circumstances. Speaking of Alonso, I think there is more than meets the eye WRT his crash with Hamilton. I am dead sure that he slowed down just a little bit out of that corner, though Hamilton needs to maintain his cool too. Lewis rarely recovers from a bad start or a terrible first lap and needs to take lessons on handling pressure. |

That should put an end to all the speculation! Speaking of Hamilton, here is what Mike Gascoyne had to say about him.... Quote:
