Monday April 7, 01:02 AM

Manama, April 6: Brazilian Felipe Massa stormed to victory here on Sunday for his second successive victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix and answer his mounting bank of critics as his Ferrari team celebrated a comfortable one-two with Kimi Raikkonen finishing second.

The 26-year-old Latin American, who had failed to score a point after an error-strewn performance in both opening races, came home as a comfortable winner ahead of his teammate defending drivers world champion Finn Kimi Raikkkonen.

In a race overshadowed by the sex scandal surrounding embattled 67-year-old Briton Max Mosley, who is fighting to keep his job as president of the sport’s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation, Ferrari were the dominant and supreme force.

They came home first and second ahead of third-placed Pole Robert Kubica of BMW, who had started from the first pole position of his career, and his teammate German Nick Heidfeld. This was enough for the BMW-Sauber team to lead the constructors’ championship for the first time.

"For sure I had a not very easy couple of weeks, but that’s life," said Massa. (AFP)
