Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2010

[F1~Michi]

I was following lap times very closely ... Alonso only was able to catch vettel after problem started. Ferrari in the low fuel definitely is at least .3sec faster than any one else .... only Hamilton to get in 1.59s but not regularly .... anyways long way to go ;)

Feeling sad for vettel .... same thing happen last year

There was some point (prior to the problem) when Alonso was half a second quicker than Vettel... Then Alonso's tyres were down for a lap or two and then Vettel's problem kicked in. Let's say it would have been close. But yeah, Red Bull and Ferrari tied after Bahrain.

no wonder nando joyful expression looks like he already got the title

Off-Topic: show

miss kimi,i remember when he won a race,he move out from his car and touch at the bottom of his pants suit,then waving a little bit of his hands n give thumbs up n he move inside.of course most of time,no shake hands with second and third runner up

Not sure after just one race, but it feels like it's gonna be a bit boring without the surprises and position changes of the refueling tactics. Anyway, great start, important points,FORZA FERRARI

Very boring race I hope not be all the championship like this one!

And you thought they'd gone... It's back!

[raikks]

It wasn't so boring... Well, I wanted Lewis to push harder -- 25pts for 1st place, dude! --, but in the end it was an okay race with a few overtakings. I've seen races crappier than this one, so... be happy F1 has started. Looking forward to Australia

[Cromoseta]

dont know why you all complain.
this race was very good, there were overtakings on the track, some show (start,hulkenberg) and a very exciting thing with vettel. that race was in bahrain... we all thought it was a track with no overtaking possibilities, but today the drivers proved us it isnt

[iceman1]

The problem is still and worse than last year "aerodynamics".

Anyway, it's clear that the championship battle will be between Alonso, Massa, Vettel & Hamilton. Schumacher, Button & Webber will be able to win some races here and there.
