Massa got pole again for the 2nd time. Hope he won't repeat his performance in Sepang.

[SIZE=2]Hamilton fastest in final Bahrain practice[/SIZE]


[SIZE=2]British rookie Lewis Hamilton continued his sensational start to the Formula One season by posting the fastest time in final practice for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]The 22-year-old McLaren driver pipped Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen by 0.006 of a second with the fastest lap of the weekend so far, 1:32.543, near the end of the session. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Raikkonen had been quickest throughout Friday and Ferrari will be chasing their fifth successive pole position in qualifying. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said the Briton had all the makings of "Formula One's next superstar". [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]"He's young, good-looking and talks to people," he said of Formula One's first black driver. "He is selling the business, 100 percent." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hamilton's team mate, double world champion Fernando Alonso, was seventh fastest. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The Spaniard, who leads Raikkonen by two points after two races following last weekend's McLaren one-two in Malaysia, needed repairs to his car after a part of the overhead gantry in the McLaren garage fell on it during the night. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]"There was some minor damage to a wing on Fernando's car which the team quickly repaired," a McLaren spokesperson said. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]"The team will investigate the cause of the incident but are confident this will not happen again."[/SIZE]
