   It’s hotter than you. Air gets 38 degrees easily. The sun combusts the fuel spontaneously. Nothing can be seen in this Bahraini desert, expect for the race!

   Obviously Sebastian’s race was hotter than the sun! He got top 3 in qualifying, and then fought for the top in the race. No doubt, his RB5 was one of the quickest cars on the grid. What’s the secret of the speed?

   “Because it’s fulfilled with the Red Bull!” he joked. “In Australia and Malaysia, I couldn’t score any points. But to be honest, our car has been quick no matter how the condition was. Yes, we have a good car and definitely we‘re stepping forward in the right direction, but the season is still long and anything can happen. So we have to see every race at it all and try to make the best out of it!”

   Indeed, he did it exactly on Sunday. After he had been passed by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton at the start, he couldn’t show his real pace because of the traffic. So he nursed his tyres and saved fuel. That’s the reason why his tyres didn’t gone . That’s the reason why he could go 2 laps longer than expected was this. That’s the reason why he was able to come back to the P2!

   “The whole last stint one car was very close in my mirrors, but I didn’t make any mistakes and we came second! But we want to be the best, and there is at least one team still in front of us, so we have to keep pushing hard!”

   Even though the hot battle in Bahrain finished, Seb’s fight never ends. It’s getting hotter and hotter to the top!
