Ranked first in Sakhir in the weekend Brazilian driver Felipe Massa Ferrari team has proved over and above all to himself that disastrous start of the championship was just an unfortunate accident, and the driver is ready to fight for the top places in the championship. His team-mate and current leader of the 2008 season, Kimi Raikkonen has pleased fans of the Maranello stable second place. By the way, Felipe Massa won the Bahrain Grand Prix and last season. "I like this track, I always achieve good results here, - admitted the Brazilian. - Two years ago, debuting at Ferrari, I nearly took pole, but the race if there was not very successful. Great to be back in Bahrain and win a second victory. " Pole Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber, which started from pole, finished third. His team mate Nick Heidfeld was fourth. As a result, BMW Sauber cup of designers led after four races, which certainly is a great result. For a team McLaren Grand Prix in Sakhir was a failure. Heikki Kovalainen, who had a very ugly race, could come only fifth. And his team-mate Lewis Hamilton was the main loser on Sunday. First, the young Briton has lost seven positions at the start. Hamilton later decided on a risky overtaking his former team-mate Fernando Alonso. As a result, race cars collided, and Lewis was forced to drop into the pits to change the front wing of his car. To leave the pit lane he was only able to 18-m. During the race Lewis had to make some overtaking, but in the end only 13th place. Massa managed to overtake Kubica launched from pole position after a few seconds after launch. The same maneuver, but only over Hamilton, Raikkonen could be done, and Kovalainen. Subsequently, Heikki tried to attack his fellow countryman, but Kimi managed to hold the position, after which he proceeded to attack Kubica. I must say that Raikkonen did it perfectly - he could beat the Poles on the third lap. At the same mistake and Kovalainen than not failed to take advantage of Nick Heidfeld, captured the fourth position. After the latest wave of pit stops Massa was leading with a comfortable enough advantage to seven seconds. In turn, Robert Kubica, who drove in his last pit lane after Ferrari Raikkonen was able to reduce its gap with the reigning world champion to three seconds, but more Poles failed. Jarno Trulli had a good race, finishing in sixth place in the end, ahead of Mark Webber, who, in turn, passed on the first pit stop, Nico Rosberg. Trulli's team-mate Timo Glock finished ninth, and not giving this position, Fernando Alonso, who had doezzhat race damaged in the incident with Hamilton car. Rubens Barrichello, constantly attacking Alonso became the 11 th. After apparently failed race Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he was to blame for this one. "It was a horrible race - said the Briton. - I worked very badly, and led the entire team. Collision with Fernando, and then I finally lost the race, there was also my fault. " Race Results: 1. F.
