Ferrari haunt Mercedes in Sakhir.

Surprise in Malaysia Can Repeated.

Since the defeat of Ferrari in Malaysia (29/3), Mercedes always keep going back to missed concern on the next races. In Bahrain tonight, the greater the fear. Conditions are expected to race in Malaysia is similar to the source of the concern.

From the results of the exercise on the first day and the second, Mercedes is still the fastest in terms of achievement of one lap. However, the race is not about speed of the lap, but the long duration of the competition for 57 laps which require consistency of performance and exceptional tire management.

After mastering the first training session, Ferrari returned must admit speed Mercedes in the afternoon practice. Nico Rosberg who always appear tough on Sakhir posted a best time of 1 minute 34.647 seconds or 0.1 seconds faster than his team mate Lewis Hamilton.

See the pattern, these results seem similar to the Malaysian GP. Mercedes enjoyed superiority in a record time of one lap, but Ferrari is stronger in the long distance. F15 car mounts Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel had a fitting design to save tires.

As reported by Autosport, Pirelli tire supplier Fomula1, has calculated the presence of a wide range of performance soft tires (soft) and the medium in the crush of the laps. The difference up to two seconds faster if using soft tires, so it can be believed tires with soft surface will be the first choice for the race today. Especially for the weather conditions in the not too hot Sakhir soft tire proved to be able to survive long enough, 18-20 laps or more.

On Friday practice, the temperature of 30 degrees Celsius was recorded tracks, while at the race today Sunday (19/4), the temperature is estimated to be lower. With these facts simply do a pit stop racers twice only.

The bad news for Mercedes is the average speed of Vettel when using the soft tires better than Rosberg fastest racer. On average, the world champion four consecutive seasons of the record time of 1 minute 39.499 seconds or almost one second faster than Rosberg. It became the largest time difference between Vettel and Rosberg along the second practice session on Friday.

But the longest lap Vettel made the second practice session only eight rounds. The number is far less than that produced Rosberg.
So it is possible the time difference between the two in the race will be tight.
Rosberg himself said that qualifying results are not too influential in Sakhir, because there are many points along the 5.4-kilometer track that can be used to perform overtaking.
"All is determined during the race. Here (Bahrain) you can overtake in the middle of the track, so the setting of the car is the biggest factor in the race tomorrow (today)," said Rosberg who took pole position and fastest lap at the Bahrain Grand Prix last year, but lost by Hamilton during the race.

In the last training session, Hamilton emerged as the fastest, but his time was only very slightly from Sebastian Vettel in second place. The defending champion posted a best time of 1 minute 34 599 seconds, 0.069 seconds quicker than Vettel and both are reported together using soft tires.
Meanwhile, Hamilton maintains a record 100 per cent as pole winner this season. Utilizing his last chance in the qualifying session, the drivers Stevenage, UK posted a best time of 1 minute 32.571 seconds. The best time to bulldoze notes Sebastian Vettel who was entrenched in the top at the close of the session. Both time difference of 0.4 seconds. Thank you for reading this article.
