Grand Prix of Bahrain...Qualifying

Another session of qualifying come and gone with not much action.  The only thing remotely exciting is that BMW were on Pole.  Pole on the Pole to be percise.  Robert Kubica posted the quickest time, 1/100th of a second ahead of Massa who needs so bad to finish a race.  Rumour has it that if he doesn't win this race, his seat a Ferrari is gone.  Massa isn't that great a driver to begin with so he better cross his fingers.  He reminds me a Villeneuve, a mediocor driver in a great car but when the car isn't running 100%, he has no hope of doing well.  Both Massa and Jacques relied on the talent of the car more then their own talent.  I give Massa to the end of the year and I'll wager that Ferrari has two new drivers.  Kimi will retire and Massa will be fired but that another story.
                                                                                                                                                                                       





The grid may have shuffled around a bit but it's still the same players near the top.  Lewis may struggle this race, he's not great when he starts a few rows back.  Shakir is a hard track if the wind picks up.  There are no tress and the desert sand blows accross the track so it gets slick pretty fast.  One of the best tracks in the world for passing, it should be a great race.
