Bahrain was rather easy, with heavy gunners getting access to podium. No one got perfect score, though, but many scored a very good amount of points. MAX did a "superb" round ;) but old BERNIE was unlucky this time. As always there was people who managed to get negatives, but it's is a natural thing when one take risks and it doesn't work. Next time it can work well, anyway!

Troubles for main contenders in qualifying meant some thought had to be done to emit a reasonable guess, and "thinking" is an unconvenient chore for human beings ;) . Results show 14 positives and 9 negatives with an average scarcely positive +0.24.
an1res was the only winner (3 points), congratulations! On the other extreme Punisher was punished with -2 points (and that Schummy was also in the tail end with -1, the first negative in two seasons... although "he" deserved more negatives more often

Congratulations to all of them! A lot of people is one point below them, so the top end is still far from defined. But as they say, who hit first, hit two times (I doubt it fits here but I have to fill words here).
Last year top players are already well positioned: champ dnbn and 2nd schivlak one point behind leaders and sek (3rd in 2005) leading, as said formerly.
The ever interesting tail end is becoming animated already
. This time I'm near the 0-point precipice so maybe I will be able to reside in that zone along the year

It's always dificult to forecast a race that runs upside down (*TNSJ), so probably we will see a load of changes there.
Goodbye and happy weeks!
