Bahrain Grand Prix: Ferrari dominates.

Today, for the third leg of the Formula One championship, Robert Kubica in his BMW-Sauber had the privilege to start from the pole position in front of the Ferraris.

But the Ferraris did not waste any time to take the lead. After the second lap, both Ferrari drivers were in front of Kubica's BMW. While Ferrari was taking the lead of the race, Lewis Hamilton completely missed his start, collided with Fernando Alonso and then went back all the way to the 18th position.

After the numerous position changes following the start of the race, the situation stabilized itself and we saw a lot less position changes in the later stages of the competition.

Both BMW-Sauber cars finished behind the Ferrari but are now leading the constructors championship after three events. We could have an interesting 3-way race for the constructors championship until the end of the season.

With all his problems encoutered during the early stages of the race, Lewis Hamilton did not score any points and finished 13th. Hamilton also lost his lead in the drivers championship with this counter-performance.
