Sakhir Bahrain 2010 F1 Grand Prix Grid Position

It was a very disappointing day for both Lotus Racing Team and Mercedes GP PETRONAS Team as both did not finish top of the grid. Mercedes GP PETRONAS, despite showing fantastic performance during qualifying round with Nico Rosberg ended 2nd and Michael Schumacher completed the round third, only managed to finish at mid positions. Sebastian Vettel  in Redbull Sauber (powered by Ferrari) was in excellent form, and used Bridgestone’s softer tyre to record 1m 54.101s in the final, Q3, session. Massa, also on the softer tyre, got closest with 1m 54.242s, with his new Ferrari team mate Alonso third on 1m 54.608s.  Michael Schumacher will start at 7th position on his return to Formula One Grand Prix this season. Lotus Racing? As expected finished in the last few positions. Ohh Tony..come on!!
