Just read this from another forum, posted 31 March...[cannot confirm though] Instead of having the fifth set of garages as they did in Australia and Malaysia, McLaren will drop down the pit lane for next weekend's Bahrain GP. Having been thrown out of last year's Constructors' Championship, McLaren were expected to be at the very end of the pit lane as traditionally that's where the last team operates from However, concession was made allowing for the Woking team to move up to the middle of the pit lane as they need space to accommodate the team's personnel and their equipment. But according to the official Bahrain website, McLaren will have now been dropped down the pit lane and will be situated at the end for next weekend's race. Thee organisers of the grand prix revealed that they had received "late notice" that instead of "garages 15-18, the Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes team would take up residence in garages 33-35." "We understand that it is in line with the rules and regulations of the sport for McLaren, which scored no points in the 2007 Constructors' Championship, to take the final set of garages," said Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, Chief Operating Officer at the BIC, told the official Bahrain GP website. "However in Bahrain we do our utmost to ensure that fans of each team get to sit opposite their favourite team's pit garages to see the action unfold. Sadly on this occasion we must apologise to McLaren fans and accept that this is force majeure."
I read this somewhere a couple of days ago as well... Odd that the garage order would change... not that I'm complaining
