8° GP Bahrain Grand Prix – Sakhir circuit (first edition 2004)
After a year's absence unfortunately returns the Grand Prix of Bahrain. This is another track designed by Hermann Tilke and for me is one of the worst circuit of the championship. There are long straights followed by tight corners. This circuit does not host a large number of events during the year, and so sand and dust are often a problem. High temperatures are a challenge for engines and brake cooling, After the negative experience of 2010, this year, the Grand Prix will be held back on the original configuration. The track will be shorter and the number of the curves will drop from 23 to 15. We return to the original layout, used between 2004 and 2009; therefore the timing references for the pole position would be those of 2009 (less o more), but three years ago there were different rules in Q3(Each car had enough fuel on board to do the first stint of the race; thankfully this rule has been removed from 2010). The only good thing about the last one edition(2010) was the victory of Alonso and Massa's second place. This year, only one podium for Red Bull in the first three races. But above all, last week, Rosberg has used the tyres in the best way with those temperatures. If the silver arrows have definitively solved their tyres problems (overheated or on the contrary did not get them warm enough) the W03 will be fast on several track. For me, will be decisive the coming two Grand Prix. In Bahrain the temperatures are high, and Barcelona is a circuit very demanding for tires. If Schumacher and Rosberg will be competitive on both circuits, anything could happen. At this moment seems that Mercedes and Sauber prefer the colder temperatures, while for Red Bull, Lotus and McLaren are better higher temperatures. Soft (option, yellow) and medium(prime, white) will be the tyres used in Bahrain. A single drag reduction zone for this Grand Prix, on the main straight. Brake demand: high – tyre wear: medium – grip level: low/medium Podium 2010: Fernando Alonso – Felipe Massa – Lewis Hamilton– fastest lap on race: Fernando Alonso – pole position : Vettel Podium 2009: Jenson Button – Sebastian Vettel – Jarno Trulli – fastest lap on race: Jarno Trulli – pole position : Jarno Trulli Bahrain GP: victories for current pilots: Alonso(3) Massa(2) Schumacher and Button (1). Raikkonen, Hamilton and Vettel : best finish 2°place at Sakhir circuit. Never on podium Webber. Bahrain GP: pole position for current pilots: Schumacher(2) Vettel, Alonso and Massa(1) Raikkonen, Hamilton, Button, and Webber: never in pole position here |
