Bahrain
Round 1 Bharain Review We first visited this venue in 2004 and saw some close
racing, but this year it is first on the calendar and those now famous dusty
corners will no doubt sort the men from the boys as they wrestle with
unfamiliar cars. The hot dry dusty conditions combined with the completely
new cars could pave the way for some interesting moves. The first race of the season is always a bit of a lottery
but Mclaren and BAR are looking strong in preseason testing. Ferrari are not expected to be strong at the
beginning of the season as we believe they have opted to start with a hybrid
car. Renault will of course be the one to watch and proved last year that
strong finishes are more important than outwrite wins. Who knows what the
result will be, but we are going for Mclaren, just because their new car
looks the best! Our Prediction is: 1st : Kimi Räikkönen 2nd : Fernando
Alonso 3rd : Juan
