FORMULA ONE - BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX
“#wheresmypodium” tweeted the Lotus F1 Team throughout the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend. Having come close in each of the opening rounds, the obvious pace of the Lotus E20 and the unquestionable skills of Kimi Raikkonen and young hotshot Romain Grosjean, it was only a matter of time. Finally, in the Middle East, it came together.
Kimi qualified 11th, and in missing out on the Q3 cut-off he saved a set of Pirellis which would come in handy. Romain qualified seventh.
The start was scintillating from both Lotus drivers. Grosjean shot up to third, Raikkonen up to sixth. Then they set about picking off more rivals, and emerged from the pitstops second and third respectively. On soft tyres, Kimi was the faster of the pair and was allowed to overtake on Lap 24. Let off the leash, he began hunting down race leader Sebastian Vettel. Having reigned him in with DRS, and had a stab at the end of the straight, Seb and Kimi pitted together on Lap 39, the German maintaining his lead and slowly pulling away.
The Lotus is kinder to its tyres than the Red Bull but on this occasion Vettel’s RB8 was able to keep a gap to the fired-up Finn. They crossed the finish line a few seconds apart, with Romain taking his first F1 podium further down the road.
Lotus now leaps from sixth to third in the Constructors’ Championship, sandwiched between McLaren and Ferrari.

The Lotus F1™ Team wasn’t able to show its true potential Down Under, but the signs are very promising.
Romain Grosjean’s race may have been over in two laps, but he was still smiling widely afterwards because he knows the Lotus E20 is quick, and having posted P3 on Saturday the Frenchman’s star is on the rise.
“I was disappointed for the first 30 minutes, but we have to take the positives,” he said back in the paddock. “The car is good, the pace is there, the team is doing an excellent job. The atmosphere is nice and I’m very proud to be here with Lotus. I think we’ll see the black and gold cars close to the top quite often.”
Romain was slow to get away due to an upshift problem, falling back to sixth. Then Williams’ Pastor Maldonado went to pass, the two touched, and the Lotus’ suspension was knackered.
