The 2005 Bahrain GP Preview
After two dominant wins in Australian and Malaysia, Renault will be looking for the hat trick in Bahrain. Their rivals, however, will be looking to stop the French squad, with World Champions Ferrari introducing their new car earlier than planned, in the hope of bouncing back from their poor start. Tom Keeble previews the race and rates the teams' chances of success, ahead of the third round of the 2005 season
With Renault delivering on their pre-season testing form at the opening races of the season, a number of teams are looking to level the score at Bahrain. Bridgestone had a tough weekend in Malaysia with Ferrari, but they are now working with the new F2005, so hopes are considerably higher. The leading Michelin runners, meanwhile, are looking to show that they can keep up with Renault.
This circuit was purpose built, coming into action for the first time last season. The inaugural event went very well, winning acclaim for the Kingdom for the quality of the facilities.
