MASSA ON THE SEVENTH HEAVEN




Ferrari have paid tribute to Felipe Massa, after the Brazilian driver bounced back from his Malaysian disappointments to take a triumphant victory in last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Massa, who had been heavily criticised following his fifth-place finish in Sepang a week earlier, kept a cool head in Sakhir to win comfortably from pole.

MASSA MAKES A PODIUM FINISH



Ferrari's driver Felipe Massa finished first in the Bahrain GP thus making his successful third podium finish.Rookie driver(not to be called so now) Lewis Hamilton came second and Kimi came third giving Ferrari 1-3 finish.

The Brazilian led throughout but was pressured early and late in the race by Hamilton, the first man to take podiums in his first three Grands Prix.Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was third after challenging Hamilton mid-race.BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld was fourth, holding off a challenge from the struggling McLaren of Fernando Alonso.

Massa needed a good result in Bahrain after disappointment in the first two races and there was no repeat of his poor start from pole in Malaysia last Sunday.

By the time of Hamilton's first stop for fuel and tyres on lap 19, the Ferrari was still only around a second ahead, but the pit-stop strategies changed everything.

Under new rules that force drivers to use two different types of tyres during a race, both men changed to the softer rubber at their first stops.

But Hamilton found his McLaren lacking grip on the new tyres and Massa began to pull away.

The Finn had spent the first stint stuck behind Alonso, but after passing the Spaniard during the first pit stops he set about trying to make good the damage.

There were seven retirements in the whole race. Jenson Button dashed Scott Speed in the first retirement itself.Later retirements were Mark Webber,Sato,David Coulthard and Liuzzi.

The result leaves Alonso, Raikkonen and Hamilton in a three-way tie on points at the top of the world standings, with Massa five behind.


Bahrain Grand Prix result:

1 Felipe Massa (Brz) Ferrari one hour 33 minutes 27.515 seconds
2 Lewis Hamilton (GB) McLaren-Mercedes 2.360sec behind

BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX-A PREVIEW


Bahrain's circuit has low grip and is a medium downforce track that demands a lot of the brakes as drivers slow from over 300 km/h to downshift to either first or second gear on three occasions. The flow of the track between Turns 4 and 13 doesn’t give them much chance to cool down.

Drivers want a well-balanced car with minimal understeer going into the corners and no time-consuming oversteer, particularly as the surface requires them to look after their tyres very soon - as in Malaysia. Cooling is also a very critical problem, but after Sepang's race nobody should really have that much problems.
