Bahrain 2009: Race Result

Opinion is divided as to what Sebastian Vettel can do with the Red Bull, and opinion is also divided on whether or not Toyota can actually pull off their maiden victory. What is known is that the 2009 Bahrain Grand Prix could be won by any of the front runners, and the strategies being adopted look on paper to mean that even Lewis Hamilton could come through and clinch some decent points. The result table below will be updated as the race happens, and my notes will be updated live.
