Lewis Hamilton reaffirmed its leadership in the Formula One World Drivers’ Champions, today at the Bahrain International Circuit, but the Ferrari’s pressure to Mercedes, is increasingly evident.
Detrás de Hamilton, Kimi Räikönen adelantó a Nico Rosberg en la penúltima vuelta quien lidiaba con un problema en sus frenos. El piloto de Ferrari quedó en segunda posición, a 3 segundos del líder y rompiendo racha sin podios, que había tenido. Rosberg ocupó el tercer lugar en el podio.
Behind Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen passed Nico Rosberg on the penultimate lap, who was dealing with a problem on his brakes. Ferrari came second, 3 seconds behind and breaking his series without podiums. Rosberg took third place on the podium.
Before Vettel, was Valtteri Bottas. In sixth, seventh and eighth places were Daniel Ricciardo, Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez, who had a great race and scored some points for his team.
Behind Perez, were Kvyat and Felipe Massa, who despite their problems in the installation lap, managed to be part of this weekend’s top 10.
McLaren was unable to solve the problems suffered in Jenson Button’s car during the weekend, impeding the British driver to start the race.
For Manor, the story was not very different from his previous races.
