Talk:2008 Bahrain Grand Prix

Importance

I've dropped the page to mid importance (see here), to conform with the Belgian one. Apterygial (talk) 10:16, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Expanding the race section

Off the top of my head, some incidents which can be used to expand the race section are:

• Hamilton actually nudged Alonso on the first lap at Turn 3, which damaged his front wing slightly. It then broke on the next lap coming out of Turn 2, causing the McLaren to accelerate more quickly than expected and hit Alonso's car more firmly. I believe Alonso's car was also slightly damaged, which could be mentioned.
• Heidfeld jumps from sixth to fourth without any explanation at the moment. He passed Trulli on the main straight at the end of lap 1, and then Kovalainen at Turn 10 a couple of laps later.
• It might be worth mentioning that the McLaren of Kovalainen's pace was generally slower than the Ferraris and BMWs, despite setting the fastest lap.
• I remember Alonso and Glock having a fierce battle later in the race, and then one or both of them commenting on it afterwards.

That's all I can remember that isn't in the article already; it was quite an uneventful race!--Diniz(talk) 12:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I've added all of your suggestions, either to the race section or post-race. I can't believe you remember all of that, I watched the race and couldn't tell you anything about it until I started researching it! Apterygial 23:36, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
