Sebastian Vettel has easily won today's Bahrain Grand Prix in utterly dominant fashion. After Alonso dropped back due to a DRS failure, nobody else was there to threaten him. Raikkonen, starting from 8th finished in second place, joined on the podium by his Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean.

I think 3rd place is on the outside, so if Alonso does get a good enough start, he can position himself to have the inside line into turn 2 (he did the same in 2010 and managed to jump Massa).raymondu999 wrote:I don't see it.

Hamilton qualified 4th, and has 5 place grid penalty so Webber goes back up 1 place to 7th.ForzaFer wrote:How Webber starts 7th.?? If he qualified 5th, and -3 grid penalty he should start 8th??!

Yes he did the same last year as well I think and made up a couple of places? Plenty of room around the outside there, should be plenty of that going on.Gerhard Berger wrote:I think 3rd place is on the outside, so if Alonso does get a good enough start, he can position himself to have the inside line into turn 2 (he did the same in 2010 and managed to jump Massa).raymondu999 wrote:I don't see it.

Funny because if webber qualified 4th and Hamilton 5th they would've still ended up the same place!!NathanOlder wrote:Yeah, As Martin Brundle explained, the penalties are handed out in the order they recieved the penalty. So, Gutierrez was put back to 22nd. Then Webber was put back to 8th, Then Hamilton was put back to 9th, therefore promoting Webber to 7th.

Yes they would and that's the main reason i don't like the way FIA sorted the grid for tomorrow. IMHO they should apply penalties simultaneously for all drivers and then move other drivers up or downMui wrote:Funny because if webber qualified 4th and Hamilton 5th they would've still ended up the same place!!NathanOlder wrote:Yeah, As Martin Brundle explained, the penalties are handed out in the order they recieved the penalty.

Nope - Webber would then start 6th.Mui wrote:Funny because if webber qualified 4th and Hamilton 5th they would've still ended up the same place!!NathanOlder wrote:Yeah, As Martin Brundle explained, the penalties are handed out in the order they recieved the penalty.
