Alonso wins
Alonso wins the first race of the 2010 season, but Vettel should have been the winner if it was not for a broken exhaust.
A very subdued race at Bahrain, I’ll do a full rundown of the GP shortly, but suffice to say that even with the rule changes, overtaking was not particularly evident. Perhaps it will get more exciting when the teams get used to the new format (or Bridgestone make the tyres less impressive).

Yeah, lets hope it gets better, I think Bridgestone need to make less long lasting tyres though, add some spice to it.

If Sutil didn’t hit Robert, Kubica definitely would be higher in competition!
