Sebastian Vettel has won the Bahrain Grand Prix, getting past both Mercedes cars towards a reasonably comfortable victory. Lewis Hamilton finished in second position while pole sitter Valtteri Bottas completed the podium for Mercedes.
Thanks a lot!

Disagree. If you look at the circuit, except for corners 8 and 10, the track simply allows you to exercise power if you have good amount of downforce. Exit of turn 1, then you are rolling through 2 and 3 as if they don't exist. Turn 4 is just a small breaking point and the more downforce, the faster you can go on throttle. Then 5 and 6 flows. At 8 a hair pin bend and you throttle up to 9 and another full breaking at 10. From there, you don't need a great deal of downforce, but the more the downforce, slightly better exits you can take at rest of the corners.
I wouldn't say so. Terrible wheelspin could occur due to the dust. F2 guys on the right hand side had massive problems with the start
I would say they do, for their qualy max power mode. Prior to Q3, lap time splits were in the usual range compared to previous two races...

There wasn't five tenths between us yesterday evening so we have a very clever bunch of guys who are going to put their heads together to come up with the best strategy."
for whom, i must say im overwhelmed to have the oppertunity to listen to.
I dont think so...Sky's graphic has him up 0.052 after S1....at which all he had to do was match his S2 and 3 times.
