With two rounds completed, a picture is forming for the shape of the championship to come - now, a win apiece under their belts, Ferrari and McLaren are looking to gain a psychological advantage for the return to Europe with a second win...
The Bahrain Grand Prix is a good mix of medium and slow corners, intended to promote overtaking. A hot venue, reliability is going to be well tested, with teams working hard to ensure they have sufficient cooling to make the distance with enough margin to be sure the engines will last through the next race.
Despite having a smooth surface, there is usually a fine sand that covers the track, making life slippery for the drivers. Unless there is little or no wind, that sand will continue to drift, eliminating any clean line, even as it forms. On the positive side, a windy race day stands every chance of improving the racing, as those looking to make a pass will not be penalised as heavily for moving off the racing line.
