Fernando Alosno Wins Bahrain Grand Prix 1020

Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa made a spectacular Ferrari one-two in the first race of the season. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, was leading the Bahrain Grand Prix, but technical problems allowed Alonso, Massa and Hamilton to overtake him.

Vettel eventually finished fourth, holding off the Mercedes pair of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher.

Very exciting start of a season, which promises to deliver a number of epic driving duels.

“It’s a special day for me,” said Alonso. “Coming back to the top of the podium is always special and it’s even more special with Ferrari, with all the history behind the team and the expectations a driver has driving for Ferrari.

“There is no better way to start the relationship. I am in the best team in the world.

“To be first and second is the result all the guys in Marinello and all the guys here at the track deserve.”

Users Reviews of Bahrain Grand Prix:

“As a F1 fan, I like to see “real”: racing. The Bahrain circuit provides this in its design as there are plenty of overtaking opprtunities. Also the spectator has a view of a greater portion of the circuit.”

“What a fantastic track ! we sat in the Oasis Batelco stand and the view and noise from the track was incredible. No problems getting to the track either (unlike Spa) we stayed in Manama and got a cab straight to the track in 20 mins .”

“This was my 1st GP and it was excellent. The 1st turn view was great (we were on the top back row) so had a great view of the start as well. We spent nearly the whole 3 days there and the gulf air tent was a MUST, just to get out of the heat (it’s also the only place to get alcoholic dirnks at the circuit). “
