The Bahrain Grand Prix

It may be late, but here is my usual post on the formula 1.

This years Bahrain GP had a fair few surprises up its sandy sleeve. Mercedes, being allowed to go wheel to wheel racing even though they are on the same team. This decision meant that viewers were in for a treat during the race. Lewis Hamilton was able to stay in front of teammate Nico Rosberg throughout the race, even though there were moments where everyone thought that the new tactic will mean that neither car finished the race. However, there was no contact so both cars finished the race, and achieved another 1-2 finish for a delighted Mercedes team. However, the race was also Jensen Buttons 250th race. However, the race was not a good one for Maclaren, with both cars not finishing, for the first time in a very long time. Not the best way to celebrate a race. Red bull managed to finish 4th and 6th, and force indias Nico Hulkenberg managed to finish 3rd, Force Indias first podium in a very long time and a cause for much celebration in the garage. Lotus had another disappointing day, with Grojean finishing 13th and Maldonardo 19th after receiving a 10second penalty after causing a collision and flipping an opponent. On the 18th-20th April the next race, China, will happen. And Rosberg has already planned victory...

Can Mercedes be caught? Opinions will be appreciated in the comments box. Thanks
