12-3-2006 - What A Day!!!!
The First ever race of the season. And with Schumi on pole n Alonso on the back… it was the most expected start I was waiting for!!! And man.. it was too good not to miss out!!
Schumi proved everyone why he is the best in business. The sheer pace and the timing he pulled off from Alonso in the mid sector was awesome. I was speechless!!! Alonso was not far behind either – not for long. They had their race – strategies – pits – and luck, all working in tandem. He managed to hold MS off for 18 laps!! He did do a champion’s drive. It is too early to say this but I guess this magic is gonna fade away soon…
Kimi – bad luck hung on to him as always!! Broke the suspension but managed to bring in the car without much damage. Then started from 20th n finished in 3rd. By first lap he had gained a phenomenal 12 places in the grid!!! He is the driver to watch out fro 2006!!
As I had predicted earlier – ALONSO – MS – KIMI and as I said before don’t write Button off!!! He is gonna win. Soon!!! He was awesome in his overtakings and made Montoya eat the dirt ore than once! I wish he steps on the top step soon!!
MS was like god in Sakhir. He was setting lap after lap from the start pulling away from the crowd behind. The 248F1 sure matches the R26 in all aspects. But its even better when its on low fuel – it just scorches the tarmac like a rocket!!! I wish to see MS go onto win the title this year… I certainly feel it is very much within the reach!!
Finally the team that surprised the most was Williams. The FW28 was awesome in its speed and it was competing with RB-Ferrari’s. The fastest lap of the race was 1.32.408. And it dint come from MS Alonso or Kimi – the 3 fastest drivers in the F1 Circus. It came from the Rookie in a Williams-Cosworth. Nico Rosberg has no signs of his dad’s championship winning style in him. He is far better. The Rookie had a spin on the first lap slipped down the order and he was on full throttle and climbed up until 7. With both the Williams strong and reliable, the 4-way fight can be changed soon.
The Kid overtook a number of cars but the best one was of DC’s. DC is one of the toughest man to pass in the F1 Circus after Jaques. But JV had a blown BMW somewhere in the middle of the race. He has two points and the fastest lap on him in his very first F1 race. This kid is gonna rock the world soon. He is not gonna stay there in Williams for long. Mark my words… many of the big teams are gonna hunt for this kid – prob even for next year!!!
Nothing spectacular about others in the grid. Toyota was all hype and no performance. So was Midland. BMW is competitive. But too sad to see NICK getting reprimanded by the stewards in the first race.
Final Verdict – The driver of Sakhir (2006) – Kimi Raikonnen (22th to 3rd)

Surely expected Schumi to win, but much to the chagrin, Alonso took it away from him this race.
Yeah, you are right. Nico was awesome. Although I hate Kimi, he surely was terrific on the track. Unbelievable moves!!!
Somehow managed to go to Coffee day and watched the entire race :-)
Raikkonen and Rosberg were the stars of the race, but I dont think 248F1 isnt as good as R26. Schumi's making it look as good as it looks. And btw, I wouldn't accept if one said Ferrari were sand-bagging at Bahrain.
Pick of the race - hell yeah - Raikkonen! Wish he hadn't broken the wish-bone axle.
@KD - Glad you could finally make it... I knew Schumi was gonna lose after quali. Cos they ran the 248F1 on low fuel load in the final session. R26 are a bit more economic on the fuel than the Ferrari's. But Ferrari knows the game. They would surely be ready for this weekend!!!!
@Koushik - Kimi has done that a lot of times last year... and it was good to see him do it this year too!!! He will be a real threat if the car gets going!!!
As for 248F1... except for the fuel guzzling specs it matches the R26 in every aspect.Even the raw power on starting!!! Ferrari has put 2005 behind n they are back!!!
Schumi can even look an ambassador challenge a renault... He was awesome in quali n race!!! Sadly this might b his last season!!
Btw.. thx for visiting... keep rocking!!!
i hate f1, but i love the other post ofu...
kisses
