Talk about across-the-board reliability.........despite the blistering desert heat of Bahrain today, there have been no retirements during the race up to now.............. :shock: :shock:

Raikkonen rejoins side by side with Glock. Glock stays in front but Raikkonen uses KERS to get ahead at the next turn.

Rosberg pits

Rosberg pits from 6th
