McLaren having miserable race
McLaren's miserable lack of pace in the Bahrain Grand Prix was evident on lap 33 when Takuma Sato in the BAR comfortably swept around the outside of David Coutlhard at a chicane to claim sixth spot.
Coulthard regained the placing when Sato made his next pit-stop at the end of lap 37, by which time Michael Schumacher’s advantage was just over 13 seconds.
Montoya was almost 25 seconds down and praying for a rare reliability failure to hit the Ferrari to stop Schumacher from adding to his victories in Australia and Malaysia.
