F1 2008 round 3 - Bahrain GP, Sakhir (04/04/08-06/04/08).
Sadly, the next event on the 2008 F1 calendar is scheduled for Bahrain. An interminably dull track with a distinct lack of camels and desert things. Lots of sand mind.
Expect lots of talk about Massa "having to deliver now" and a new kind of catastrophic car failure on one of the Red Bull machines. Do not, however, expect to spot Max Mosley who will be spending this weekend no doubt having a nice cup of tea and a sit down in one of his apartments. A well earned break Max. So, how do things stand after two rounds... Drivers standings
Constructors standings

Personally I think Massa could be better suited to this track than even Malaysia (where he took pole and led some of the race). I don't have enough faith in him to list him in my top eight for the predictions competition - but I expect we could see an improvement.

My two predictions for this weekend (from pure gut feeling in the last 15 seconds) are:
1) A resurgent Massa getting another pole - but perhaps not a race win 2) Kubica to be bloody quick again. Top 3 on the grid. I reckon BMW could very well get their first win at or by Monaco this year - not much longer to wait

Ferrari will walk to victory, followed by Toyota, BMW and then McLaren.

I suppose the big question is *drum roll*.....will it rain ?

No chance of rain,although it could get a bit 'blowy' from time to time.

I'm going to the race so I'll let you know first hand.
And Martin, we have some minor sandstorms at the moment.

I'd be surprised if it's not a Ferrari walkover, very surprised.
Mclaren v BMV for best of the rest? |

My hope is that the dust will make the track hard to drive, it will be like Melbourne with only a handful of finishers, and Takuma Sato wins the GP.
But my brain says Raikkonen. Anyway, the predictions thread is elsewhere :P How about, if Massa again fails to finish, will this raise a significant chance that he might not see the year out? |

I doubt Massa will spin again this track is way too simple.

He managed to in '06!... almost taking out Alonso if I recall correctly...
He gets the third step of the podium in my predictions. |

The link from the last couple rounds:
http://itv-80.vo.llnwd.net/d1/broadb...astPlayer.html isn't working any more... Anyone have a link for the video for those outside the UK? The above was working last time. |

It's on SpeedTV if you have access to that online somewhere Rotorfan.
I know it's only practice but Rosberg and Williams third fastest this morning, well done. |

They have changed the link to a generic link of http://www.itv-f1.com/VideoLive.aspx so unsure what can be done to help you non-uk based people.
It is pretty stuttery for me.. Same for others? It works OK for a bit but then has long periods of stuttering. Was the same this morning. And even went down for a few minutes. Confirmed with others that it was the same for them. ITV get an A+ for effort... but sadly a D- for performance. |
