Must agree!

This kid is amazing. Michael tried everything to get to him. In the end he got to Michael. He was faster on both sessions and not just aggregate. Lovely!

I suspect Michael is on a lighter fuel load but we'll see!

Raikkonen, Fisichella, the BAR's and Coulthard dissapointing (unless they are on a very different strategy than their team-mates - like Villeneuve :wink: )

In the past Michael used to say he'll quit when someone comes along and beats him. He'll be thinking about that very soon.

Enjoy the race

Bahrain Grand Prix starting in 10 minutes.

Track temperature 48 at this stage.

Update on Barrichello: He will start from the back of the grid (but ahead of the 2 Minardi's as they've had engine changes. Ferrari have fitted a rebuilt gearbox and presumably and new engine as well.

Christian Klien has a problem and is pulled into the pit lane. Hard luck after a strong qualifying
