Historically speaking, Ferrari always seems to run pretty well here. FORZA FERRARI another podium or win would be fantastic. Also, I noticed that they are NOT bringing the soft tire here now. It will be medium and hard.
One of Britain's most senior politicians has called for the boycott of Bahrain's Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is scheduled for this weekend, evoking the 1985 boycott of South Africa's race during the apartheid era. Lord Avebury, who has been in Parliament for over 50 years, criticised Bernie Ecclestone, who likened Bahrain's pro-democracy protesters to those taking part in anti-Thatcher demonstrations. Avebury said the F1 boss "has forgotten about 90 deaths and 13 imprisoned activists". The 1985 race in South Africa was boycotted by several Formula 1 teams due to growing international pressure against the country's system of apartheid. The Grand Prix returned in 1992, after apartheid ended. The British All-Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Bahrain has sent a letter to Ecclestone calling for the Grand Prix top be cancelled. "We request you cancel the Grand Prix," reads the letter
Q: Vettel Rosberg Hamilton Alonso Webber Raikkonen Grosjean R: Vettel Alonso Rosberg Raikkonen Hamilton Webber This is very much a stop and go circuit. Red Bull could either be incredibly quick here or mediocre. I suspect due to their historical speed at this circuit they will do well. Last year Seb was on pole, but not by much at all as he was only a tenth or two up on Hamilton.
Crap. Hope it won't get cancelled. -- Kimi qualified 11th last year IIRC, and finished 2nd with a missed oppertunity for first. Their qualifying is better this season. I don't think he'll qualify on the top 2 rows, 3 maybe. Quali: 1: Vet 2: Web 3: Alo Race: 1: Kimi 2: Vet 3: Alo
Brace yourselves, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the tire deg. will be very high in Bahrain...in which case I think we'll see similar results as this past week in China.
