Another dominant win by Mercedes today but not so for Hamilton after he needed to fight hard with his team mate Rosberg for the last 10 laps to clinch the 24th GP win of his career and the 3rd Mercedes win of the season from so much races. Thanks for giving us some real clean, breathless action guys! Well done Force India strong weekend reflected after Friday practice with Perez taking his first podium in 3rd after a very nice consistent race up front battling it out with Ricciardo, Hulk and both Williams. Hulkenberg taking 5th with the best combined result for Force India who were celebrating their 400th GP (since the Jordan days). Ricciardo finished in 4th who showed once again his true potential against his team mate Vettel who struggled a bit this wkend finishing 6th after starting 10th. Williams were caught out badly with the safety car deployed at the wrong time for them as both where fighting for the podium with the Force India duo, ending up taking 7th with Massa who made an electrifying start and Bottas 8th, disappointing unfortunately. Another disappointment was Ferrari who were so slow on straights which found it difficult catching up with the Mercedes powered teams ahead of them, Alonso finished 9th and Raikkonen in 10th. McLarens race was looking not bad with Button running 5th/6th for most of the time and in the mix with the others but after the SC the car lacked power and resulted with a double DNF, reliability issues :/ Hope everything is fine with Gutierrez who had a scary accident, car flipping in the air thanks to over aggressive Maldonados move on him! Interesting race, nice moves, no team orders imposed, surprising results, mixed strategies etc etc made the Bahrain GP the best so far this season. More like this please :) :) Round 4 from China in 2 wks time guys....... but first 2 more days of testing in Bahrain next Tuesday and Wednesday. Long live Formula 1
