Boring Bahrain?

I look forward to any Grand Prix weekend. But for me I have always thought of this one as the most boring of the season.

There is never a chance of a wet race during the hot and dry desert conditions of the Middle East. However lets be fair I think we have seen enough of wet races for the moment. Although dust storms and engine fires are a huge risk.

As one of the newest circuits on the calender, this grand prix has only celebrated only 3 winners during its five races, including Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.

You don't even get champagne if you win! (Even though alchoholic beverages are legal in the country) Instead you are awarded a non-alcohlic rosewater drink known as waard. I dont know about anyone else but if my first and possibly only win came at Bahrain and I didnt get champagne, I would be a little bit upset.

Adding all this I just think Bahrain doesn't hold the classic characteristics of Monaco, Silverstone and Spa.

But after qualifying yesterday I don't think I could have been more wrong.

A shock one two from the Toyota's to lock out the front row of the grid with Trulli and Glock starting in first and second. Hamilton continues his push for recovery after a poor start in 2009, bagging 5th on the grid putting himself in contention for a race win for the first time this season. However in contrast for the first time in 2009 it appears we might have seen a crack in the pace of the Brawn GP's of Button and Barrichello qualifying 4th and 6th.

Could Jenson Button's good start to the season be about to melt in the heat of Bahrain? Can Vettel from 3rd on the grid show he is just as good in the sand and heat as he is in the wet with his second win in seven days?
