Ferrari Takes Dominant 1-2 Victory In Bahrain

2 - Kimi Raikkonen +0'03.339 - Eight Points
"Second place was the best I could hope for on a weekend which was
definitely not the best for me. These eight points move me into the
lead of the championship and that is definitely a reason for me to
leave Bahrain reasonably satisfied. I never found the ideal balance.
Sometimes you get weekends like this but I am convinced that in
Barcelona, the situation will be different. My first pit stop was not
very quick because we had a problem with the lights, but it definitely
did not affect the final result. Once I had consolidated my position, I
managed the situation, trying not to push the car too much, knowing how
important it is to always bring home the points."
1 - Felipe Massa +0'00.000 - Ten Points
"Sensational! Finally, after a start to the championship under dark
clouds, I can see the sunshine again. We kept our concentration all
weekend long and this is the result. We knew we could count on a great
car and that certainly proved to be the case, given that I never had to
push to the maximum once I was in the lead. I made a good start,
managing to overtake Robert. Then, there were a few difficult laps
because of oil on track between Turns 5 and 8, but I was always in
control. Clearly, I always had in mind what happened in Malaysia and so
I tried to pay attention all the time, to ensure I brought the car
home. It is nice to be back in the winner's position here in Sakhir, a
track I have always liked."
