Qualification was a bit of a spectacle. The big news is that Kimi had a catastrofic failure of a rear wish bone and crashed out of the first session.

His only saving grace is that the Bahrain track is one of the better ones for overtaking, so with a little luck we should see Kimi proving his worth.

Ferrari have also shown that the 248 is a quick car, we will have to see how fragile it is in the race but it should be ok.

Renault have admited making a mistake with strategy and Alonso ended up 4th on the grid.

The top 10 looks like this :-

1.  M.SCHUMACHER Ferrari     1m31.431s
2.  MASSA        Ferrari     1m31.478s
3.  BUTTON       Honda       1m31.549s
4.  ALONSO       Renault     1m31.702s
5.  MONTOYA      McLaren     1m32.164s
6.  BARRICHELLO  Honda       1m32.579s
7.  WEBBER       Williams    1m33.006s
8.  KLIEN        Red Bull    1m33.112s
9.  FISICHELLA   Renault     1m33.496s
10. HEIDFELD     BMW         1m33.926s

Should turn out to be an interesting race with some luck as I think the Ferrari cars may be running less fuel than some of those behind them.
