Sakhir, Before The Race

The qualifying session has just finished. Kimi, my hero and the reigning world champion will start from P4 tomorrow afternoon at the Bahrain GP in Sakhir. The pole position belongs to Kubica from BMW (good drive for him!). 
Massa (who I think carry less fuel than Kimi) in P2, and Hamilton in P3.
I think tomorrow will be a hard race, but I have faith on Kimi that he will do his best (as always !). Anyway, it's a four-wheel race, so anything could happen. I just hope tomorrow will be the first victory for Kimi at Sakhir.

Besides the GP race, there is another hot issue concerning Max Mosley's sex scandals. Several teams and drivers are against his side, however Kimi gave his sympatethic voice for Mosley (as quoted from F1 Live) : "It's his personal life and he can do whatever he wants and it's not really my business or anyone else's to put their noses in." Kimi has refused to join in the widespread condemnation of the FIA President, Max Mosley.

Cool as always, huh ? That's Kimi.....

Will Kimi Get His 1st Win At Sakhir This Weekend ?

Why not ? After 3 years of lasting on the 3rd in podium, this weekend Kimi deserves to get his first victory at Sakhir circuit (Bahrain GP). Kimi believes that the F2008 has speed and strengthness to win at Bahrain. And last tests in Sakhir had shown that Ferrari is quite strong there.

About the Sakhir circuit, Kimi said "I really like the Sakhir circuit, because it differs from the others. While going there, you feel like playing in the sandbox. It really feels like a gigantic sandbox. Where ever you watch, you see just sand. And you feel it, too - in your hair". Quite interesting, huh ?

So, let's just see whether Ferrari can fight back this weekend, and more important, how is other competitors' performance too. I think this year F1 GP has got more interesting than ever, with new regulation (no traction control), many new (young and talented!) rookie, and with new circuit (night GP at Singapore). 
I do hope this weekend will be a new era in Kimi's career, a victory in Bahrain GP!!
