And I have little idea what happened. In part this is because I don't have SkyTV but mainly because the footage provided by the host nation had this uncanny knack of missing all the important things. This is actually frustratingly common in Formula 1 but on this occasion it seemed appropriate.
Apparently the race was won by Vettel for the Red Bull team and Raikkonen came second giving the Lotus F1 team their first podium finish in the best part of twenty years. Although some protesters did make it into the circuit they were arrested before they were able to do something stupid like throwing themselves in front of a car moving at around 200mph/320kph.
In hosting the race the Bahraini Monarchy were trying to show that life is back to normal in Bahrain. With rioting every night, tear gas, petrol bombs and live ammunition flying around and at least one death I would say they've achieved that because that's pretty much been every day in Bahrain since February 15th 2011.
