So who's going to win ?
When will Michael Schumachers run come to an end as he,
storms away with the championship ??

Bahrain GP on ITV1 :
Qualifying - Saturday 13.40 - 15.40
Race LIVE - Sunday 11.40 - 14.40

Hate to say it but Schumacker will probably run with the lead again, I hope i am wrong ?

Lets see how williams and especially Button get on in this race.....

Carnt wait.

NEW ENGINE
Kimi Raikkonen will drop 10 places on the grid after suffering an engine failure in Friday’s practice.

The McLaren driver pulled up just minutes into the second session on Friday which cost him important running time on the new Bahrain circuit.

More significantly the Finn will lose 10 grid positions following Saturday’s final qualifying session which makes him the first driver to have fallen victim to 2004’s new engine ruling.

That's my favorite driver up the spout then
Hoping for a Schumacher Brake down, that will make my weekend, but unlikely...

Congrats Button 3rd Place again

told ya SCHUMACHER would win <img border="0" alt="[cwlmao]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

Scumacker done it again, Suprise Suprise....



Williams not as good as i had hoped, Good old Button done the business, Great to see British driver on the podium.... Just what this country needs since Coultard has settled to "Steady Eddie".



All in all a great race, Allot of action at this state of the art circuit, How they managed to build that awesome race track in such little time i will never know.



If you take away the leaders of the race (Ferrari) the race was great, ITV done a great job in concentrating on the real race for positions further down the field rather than following the leaders on there own, Made it very interesting.



McClaren in trouble once again, What is going on with this team ?? Two seasons ago they used to be neck and neck with Ferrari, Look at them now.... Sad really



Who was in the right, Ralph and Sato collision, Should have Ralph shown more respect and allowed Sato through or was Sato wrong for pushing to keep his position ?? Personally i think Ralph got what he deserved for being ignorant and aggresive. He was lucky to servive the collision though.



All in all a Great race
