The only Desert Grand prix track was a cruise ground for Felipe Massa, perfectly maneuvering through rough complex corners and giving not even slightest chance for other drivers and finishing at track position. It was a Felipe Massa's show all over with one color, RED at podium along side with Kimi Räikkönen ending the race giving no scope for other teams as well as fans.
Bahrain has a very well composed track with complex curves and well designed terrain with 5.4 km of circuit length and a grueling race of 57 laps.
Robert kubica(BMW) after being at the pole position(1st ever) after Saturday qualifying with Massa along side at P2 failed to gain the momentum due to some hitch in engine, giving leadway to Massa . Lewis had worse problems with engine not coming to full power and was bogged down to 10th position from P4 at start. To make matters worse for Lewis, he shot into Alonso's renault during gear shift ruining the front guard. Lewis was soon in for an early pit shop by lap 2.
Kimi Raikkonen gave a wheel to wheel to Robert Kubica during lap 2and leapfrogged to 2nd position. The outcome of race was written by 2nd lap with no further surprises or any mistakes made by either the teams or the drivers.
The only other interesting part of the race was Lewis fighting for position with Force India driver
Giancarlo Fisichella giving tough fight for a long time for 13th position. Finally after many laps of trying, Lewis slings past Fisi.
It was day for Felipe Massa with a 6th GP win and a vindication after disastrous start of season; Not a single move was wrong, maintained the right pace and distance with Kimi through out. The podium finish was after 1.31 hours with Ferrari racers at first and second and BMW driver Robert at third position.
Though Ferrari won the Constructor's trophy, it was BMW which shot up to 1st position in Constructor's championship.
