2008 Bahrain Grand Prix

Felipe Massa finally sees the end of a grand prix in 2008, taking victory at Sakhir ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen, for a Ferrari 1-2.

With Lewis Hamilton finishing a dismal 13th after losing his front wing in a first lap coming together with Fernando Alonso, Kimi takes over the lead in the driver's championship.

Heikki Kovalainen salvages some McLaren pride by snatching fast lap late in the race, but his 5th place finish puts a point on a horrendous day for Ron Dennis' boys, as they drop to 3rd in the Constructor's Championship. BMW have vaulted to the top of the WCC charts with their 3-4 finish, clinging to a one point lead over Ferrari, with McLaren another point back. It's early days, but BMW look to have achieved their aim to make it a three-way battle. I can't wait for the rest of the season!
