If this information is correct.. http://www.vitalf1.com/sitepage.asp?a=1554 - "Bahrain GP – Bahrain International Circuit - Pit straight - Pit straight and straight to turn 11" Then I think we won't see much overtaking, theres not much of a breaking zone going into turn 11, I'd have had it from corners 3 to 4 or 13 to 14.
I agree however wouldn't that make the detection zone for the pit straight be basically immediate? Therefore the driver behind would have a massive chance of being within a second again. This would make it much harder for the leading dueller to defend onto turn 1 as DRS would be inevitably available for the driver behind.
True, but its no different to what we've seen at first 3 races, where one DRS zone leads onto another. Suppose one way to make it "less" artificial when you have two DRS zones one after the other is to make both zones shorter, so guy chasing as two chances, but guy leading doesn't have to defend for 200 - 300 metres more.

According to the fountain of all knowledge (wiki) Bahrain gets 1cm of rain on average in April, with 7cm in total for the whole year. I guess it may one day rain at a race but at those temps I doubt it would even reach the ground
Seriously getting sick of hearing Di Resta moan, not just about Sutil though. Everytime he's interviewed he has something to complain about. I can't ever see him being at a top team with this attitude, he always blames somebody else and hardly ever praises his team. I don't think it's occured to him that the majority of the blame for poor races and qualifying is down to him. Yes the team has made mistakes but every team does. When he knew he didn't get a top race seat, he has been acting childish.
After hacking into F1 website last year, cyber anarchists Anonymous threatening further disruption to Bahrain GP this week. Anonymous claim will attack Bahrain GP and government, in their own words "to wreck your little party again Mr Ecclestone"
Kimi was overtaking everywhere last year, including turn 11. I think it's a good place to have it, turn 10 is such a difficult corner that drivers can make mistakes there and then be vulnerable into 11 with DRS. It's a nice spot for overtaking as well because it's so fast. I'm sure either Croft or James Allen said last year that it was raining the first time they went there, on the Wednesday or Thursday before the 2006 gp.
Pirelli have allocated the teams with the medium and hard tyre. No soft tyre anymore for this weekend
