    So the boring Bahrain GP wasn't so boring this year :grin:.

    Great drive by both Lotuses which were the only cars on track really moving forward!
    Vettel did well to stay in front, but the rest was only fighting not to go backwards.

    Alonso delivered on his prediction of realistically aiming for 7-10th place. Good job!

    Really liked this race, lots of action all around with plenty of overtaking.
    Sad we have 3 weeks brake before next GP, at least there will be some testing in between.

    Yeah the race was really fun to watch.

    Now back to Europe, just when I'm heading off to Asia and back to Asia when I'm returning to Europe :')

    Lots of interaction between Kimi and Horner after the race.

    Kimi to replace Wibbah next year? :)

    According to some interview Horner just said "great race you had there" and Kimi replied "not great enough" or something :D

    Hallmark of a true race driver. Finishing second just means you're first of the losers.

    Love him.

    Cheers

    Yes but part of the highlights. Not tried the "red button".

    Just be careful not to use it too often and burn it out - remember, under F1 rules, you are only allowed a few TVs each season.:razz:

    Funny thing is my TV's red button is not working. Looks like I am running slightly impaired, need to pit in and get it checked out. :cry:

    Right. So it can't be anything important so no reason to stop out on track apart that they probably did underfuel the car a bit to start lighter.

    Epic fail on McLarens part, but what a harsh penalty for that!? Imo 5 or at maximum 10 place grid penalty would have been more approriate or make the team lose points or something. Well Kimi has much better chance to win now :)
