The German stops Brits Supremacy
This season just gets better and better.
Jenson slips and a German takes all the glory. Sebastian Vettel is enhancing is ever growing stature as one of the better drivers in F1.
His stunning victory was wholly deserved and it gave Red Bull their biggest day in
F1 so far. And on this form, Vettel looks like he will be adding to his two modest race victories.
Ozzy Mark Webber finished second to make it a 1-2 for Red Bull to make it a weekend
to remember for the British based team.
Jenson finished third after the safety car was forever interrupting the race.
Brawn’s strategy was not key in this race as it was very difficult to determine an outcome with such horrendous conditions. Partner Rubens Barrichello finished fourth to keep Brawn GP in the points.
Brawn went with heavy fuel loads, as they knew they had the pace, but the speed of the Red Bull’s surprised everyone.
Poor visibility played a huge role in the races outcome; Renault’s Fernando Alonso began up top as his produced a majestic qualifying lap on light fuel. But that strategy was useless with the race starting with the safety car and he finished outside the points in ninth.
McLaren look relatively back on track with a vast improvement on previous races.
However disappointingly Lewis Hamilton may have seen this as a missed opportunity.
He is, by far, the best-wet conditions driver out there and the floods on the track could have played him well. He finished sixth, whilst partner Heikki Kovalainen managed to complete a lap, what he had failed to do this season, and he finished an impressive fifth.
Ferrari’s season just keeps getting better and better, Felipe Massa out after 20 laps and Kimi Raikkenon outside the points once again down in 10th. They predict that they are going to hit some good form. I definitely hope not.
Pole seems essential this season; this was the third consecutive race that the driver in pole won the race.
Let us see who claims pole in Bahrain.
