Sakhir, Bahrain

There we go, the 4th GP this season, which was set on Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
Some facts:
Race laps: 57
Lap: 5,412 km
Last year winner: Sebastian Vettel
Lap record: 1min 30,252 secs. by Michael Schumacher in 2004.

The race:
Everyone who watched todays race had deja vu, because we have the same drivers on the podium as last year ! But let's start from the beginning.
Lewis Hamilton had problems with his gearbox before qualifications, so due to changing he recived penatly, five-place grid drop. Also Mark Webber recived three-place grid drop, because of crashing with Jean-Eric Vergne. What is more we could see Kovalainen in Caterham as a test driver in free practise.
First lap, Alonso started to overtaking Vettel, but he was blocked by him. What is more Vettel after few approaches finally overtook Rosberg, and became a leader for the rest of the race.
Second lap, Vergne had problem with his tyre, so he got to go to box very quickly. A moment later Alonso started overtaking Rosberg, which was a success. What is more, di Resta overtook Rosberg. He showed a very beautiful ride today.Also as we could see mercedes cars are not so fast. Even Button could overtake him  despite problems in McLaren. From the Pole Position, he finished at 9th position. Massa from the beginning had damaged front wing, but it didn't make any difference in ride. Alonso after visit in box, had to go there again, because of his back wing. What is more he had problems with DRS for the whole race. It just didn't work, but he finished at 8th position, which is absolutely amazing, for someone with not working DRS. Raikkonen was so long at the track before the first box till 17lap. 18Lap was the end of the race for Jean-Eric Vergne. He had a contact with van der Garde on the first lap and  suffered teminal damage in the collision. Next McLaren's duet showed us what they are able to do. They were fighting so raw, even between each other. At 37lap Massa had again problems with his tyres, but this time the tyre damaged completely, but he quickly went to box. 
Anyway finally we got the results:


So now just a 3 weeks break, and will start the first Grand Prix in Europe !
Get ready !
