TYRES
Pirelli allocations
per driver for this race are:
2 sets of
white-marked hard tyres,
3 sets of
Yellow mediums, and
8 sets of Red softs.
FP1:
· Cool (for Bahrain) and
overcast but dry. Interestingly one or two yellow flags for the occasion spins,
but nobody hit a barrier and nobody broke down out on the circuit!
· Robert Kubica
drove Raikkonen’s car and showed that he really did waste his time driving for
Williams. Roy Nissany drove Russell’s car. Nissany is a very mediocre F2 driver who has a test driver
contract with Williams.
· As usual FP1 has been a mix
of a test session and checking out tyre performance under different conditions,
i.e. low and high fuel loads on short and long runs, and different wing
settings, etc. so little can be read into the times and/or the order as we
don’t know the configuration each car is in at any given time, except that the
long tubs with heavy fuel all do tend to be dome by everyone in the last half
hour.

FP2:
With 40 minutes to go Albon
lost it out of the last corner and planted the car squarely into the barrier.
He was OK but the car was pretty much wrecked on the right-hand side. The
lights went green and as a few cars drove out it went red again as a dog was
sighted running about on the track. He made good his escape and the session
continued. Hamilton, who had been in the garage since doing his run on the
Pirelli development tyres, went out and smashed the times.
