The McLaren Formula 1 team will not get the fifth set of pitboxes in the pitlane as they did in Malaysia and Australia. In Bahrain the Woking based team will be allocated the last set of garages organizers of the Bahrain Grand Prix has said.

BMW motorsport director Mario Theissen has warned rivals that his team will be at least as competitive as it has been in the first two rounds of the season and is highly motivated to go do even better in Bahrain.

Mercedes motorsport chief Norbert Haug says that while McLaren and Ferrari have taken first blood in the first two rounds of the 2008 season, German rival BMW is definitely capable of fighting for a win.

Rubens Barrichello may have been disqualified from a points-scoring position in the Australian Grand Prix, but the Brazilian is much more cheery about Honda's performance and potential this season. Barrichello is confident that he and Honda can again be competitive in the midfield in Bahrain.
