Bahrain 2012.

Okay what on earth is going on? I don't even know how to type this in anymore. Goodness. Go away, strange rectangle I'm unfamiliar with.

Blogger, if you ever read this, why?

Anyway, race just ended and goodness me that was two hours of excitement and cursing school's Internet connection speed.

Vettel on pole, Alonso in ninth and Massa fourteenth, Kimi eleventh (after not making it to Q3 yesterday).

Then boom everyone was off to a good start (everyone I supported, anyway), except Kovalainen, 'cause he had a puncture early on, which was pretty sad for him considering he managed to knock Schumi out of Q2 yesterday (because Mercedes made a boo-boo).

After a few dips and consulting of stewards (we still don't know what's going to happen to the Hamilton-Rosberg case, or the Rosberg-Alonso case, or the Alonso pitstop case, but I guess the stewards will inform us in time).

Tyre-wear was an issue 'cause of the heat and sand and all, but I think most of the teams managed to pull through quite nicely. Di Resta especially really owned with a two-stop strategy and despite a Mr E being quite ticked off at Force India, he managed to place sixth and earned them some television coverage.

Vettel's tyres almost died near the end 'cause he pushed so hard to fend Kimi off. I give him credit for that, actually. Kimi on the other hand could have won (and in the post-race interview told us he was disappointed he didn't win) but killed his tyres and had some damage on his front wing passing a Ferrari. Whoops. But yeah, four different race winners in four races, and it would be so epic if it could carry on like this throughout the season. Button, Alonso, Rosberg and now Vettel. I see Webber, Kimi, Hamilton, Rosberg and even Grosjean going on to win races this season. Fun stuff.

Webber yet another fourth place behind the two Lotuses.

And all I can say is that I'm glad both Ferraris finished in the points today.

Yeah, it has come to that.

Now Vettel leads the standings to Hamilton, Webber, Button and Alonso, with ten points covering the gap. And Lotus has overtaken Ferrari in the standings. No words.


Okay, weekend taken up by F1 and Chem.


Adieu.
