Sebastian Vettel dominates Bahrain ahead of Lotus
Sebastian Vettel’s 28th win saw him move past Sir Jackie Stewart in the all-time winners list. The German is in 6th place on the list with Fernando Alonso the only current driver ahead of him with 31 wins.
Sebastian Vettel won the Bahrain Grand prix after dominating the competition in his own calculated and fast style, with Raikkonen and Grosjean bringing their Lotus closely behind.
Thus, the podium was a repeat from last year.
Pole sitter Nico Rosberg did not have the race pace to match his qualifying effort, and finished well down the order in 9th. His team mate Hamilton managed to run a better race climbing to 5th.
Ferrari had an unlucky afternoon with both cars running into severe problems. Alonso’s DRS failed and forced him to the pits twice, while Massa struggled with tyre failures.
