The qualifiers at Bahrain was a testimony of the emergence of a new talent , Robert Kubica, who went on to take Pole , followed by Massa and Hamilton. This was just a preview to a magnificent race the next day.
As the lights blinked to declare the race open, Massa drove on like a man possessed, man on a mission . He led the race from the word go. There were no silly gaffes like the last 2 races and he drove on till the chequered flag. Kimi too had a good race but couldn’t match up Massa for speed. He seemed to be content with Massa taking the lead and didn’t try any overtaking maneuvers too. Hamilton had a bad start, having slipped many places by the first corner. Then his near-crash (supposedly deliberate??) with Alonso , pushed him out of contention, even for points.
However it was his attitude which came out during the course of the race. After about 17 laps, he was trailing Fishichella at 13th or 14th position and after many failed attempts to overtake. When he finally did overtake, he gestured to Fishichella for preventing him from overtaking, setting an example of bad sportsmanship.
So glad the Force India team is improving.
So as the Red dust settles in Bahrain, Ferrari must be eyeing their happy hunting ground Barcelona already.
Till then its Adios!!!

Yes, Massa and Kimi storm through the race :) Great race for them and a splendid performance by the Ferrari team.
Hamilton admitted at the press conference that he had let down the McLaren team. Hopefully he will learn from this and improve on his performance at Barcelona
@Karthik: Yeah it was a good day for Ferrari ... Hamilton's attitude really put me off, he was acting like a king, where his subjects should move when they are in his path :P
overall, it was a gr8 race for ferrari. but i don't know y kimi acted as a sidekick for massa. throughout the race, u can see that the gap between them was widening!!!!
anyways, we had gr8 fun at the race but felt bad when force india driver, adrian sutil, was the last in the starting laps. but we kept on cheering force india just like we did for ferrari.
wht u said abt hamilton might b right. but when he came for the autograph session, he seemed to b very down-to-earth.
