Fantastic Four: Bahrain GP Analysis
A vintage battle has commenced, and the racing is so tight that up and down seems to be the order of the day in Formula One, 2007. From the highs of Hamilton and Massa to the lows of Alonso and Raikkonen, Adam Cooper analyses the stories that panned out behind the scenes in Bahrain
The 2007 season continues to fascinate, and it's already clear that we are in for a vintage battle over the coming months. It's hard to recall another season where we had four drivers in two teams capable of winning races and winning the championship, while there's a third team that is close enough to keep the pacesetters on their toes and take advantage of any slip-ups.
The fact that it is so close exacerbates any problems, to the extent that someone can win one weekend and be as low as fifth the next. Anyone expecting control tyre racing to be boring has been proven wrong - making the car work to perfection on hard and soft tyres on the same afternoon is no easy matter.
