The West McLaren Mercedes team had a disappointing Bahrain Grand Prix as both Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard failed to finish the 57 lap race. Kimi retired with an engine failure on lap eight as an apparent Mercedes engine failure resulted in plumes of smoke and flames billowing from the rear of the Finns car. Seething with frustration Raikkonen ditched his car on the side of the track marking his third retirement of the season. Meanwhile Coulthard pulled into the pits with McLaren clearly not expecting him.
