Massa kickstarts his points table with a win in Bahrain Grand Prix


Felipe Massa, the Brazilian, has won the Bahrain Grand Prix, for the second consecutive time with his Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikonnen, coming second. Robert Kubica, who took the pole position for the BMW team came in third followed by his BMW colleague Nick Heidfield.

The race had a dramatic start with McClaren's Lewis Hamilton, starting from third position had a horrific beginning to his Bahrain Race, dropped down to seven place in the first turn and making matters worse, Alonso had a gear problem and collided with Lewis, which unfortunately, had him dropped down to 14th in the grid.

The Bahrain Grand Prix had a Ferrari 1-2 and it was the second win of the season for Ferrari. The BMW team also had a relatively good race with Kubica and Heidfield finishing 3-4 in the race.The highly hyped Force India team also had a good race with the experienced Fishichella finishing an impressive 12th. They have clearly laid there plans to be in the midfield through every race they participate. That is a realistic target taking into account an average car they
drive in.

With the end of this race, Kimi Raikonnen moves to the top of the table in the championship followed by, BMW's Nick Heidfield and McClaren's Lewis Hamilton.

Interestingly, BMW tops the construtor's championship followed by Ferrari and McClaren.So, i think a great race awaits us in Spain in three weeks time. Checkout this space then.
