Race 2 - Bahrain - Sakhir - Pre Race Analysis

After a disappointing finish at Austria, the Team 'Partners in Crime'
landed in Bahrain with not so high spirits. Add to that the hot temperatures
in Bahrain. From the Winter in Austria where it touched 10 Degrees and
below, we were awaited temperatures of 45+ Degrees. Note that all are in
Celsius scale. Its as if we were put into a Hot Furnace. This Temperature
didnt help our race strategy as well. Our tyre partners are known for
their strength in temperature of Middle 20s. The Only advantage was that due
to the premature race end in Austria, our Mechanics had an easy task of
repairing the Car. Mebbe because others were saving, I had a promising
Top10 finish in the Practice and WU. Teammie JTix was a couple of positions
down as he too was preparing for the Mid Season Battles. The Testing Sessions
continued and the test Driver F Montagny is doing a pretty good job. The Team
Management is still keeping him instead of numerous offers for him for the
elite Drive..

C1 WU was dominated by RC who was closely followed by Eld. The race needs to
be a closely watched one, but I am not sure whether the First Race Live Telecase
Failure would surface again this time.

C2G1 saw Camilio coming back to race after missing the First Race. He looks strong
but the Podium finish of Osterloh would make Camilios job tougher.
