Will Tires be the Key for this Blistering Race?
The third race of the season will be held at the Bahrain International Circuit in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Everyone expects a tough battle in the severe Middle Eastern heat. Teams will also have to come prepared to battle dust and strong winds. This race is usually very tough on tires, and now that teams no longer have the luxury of traction control, the key to victory may lie in whether teams can make the most effective use of their tires.
2007 grand prix
The third race of the 2007 season, the Bahrain GP was held under strong wind conditions on April 15. Jarno started from P9 on the grid, steadily gaining position to ultimately finish at P7, and winning championship points for the second consecutive race. Ralf started from P14, falling back to P17 at one point in the race, but refusing to give up, he finished at P12.
