Bahrain Grand Prix : A Masterclass by Sebastian Vettel

Against all odds Sebastian Vettel fended off Valtteri Bottas to win the Bahrain Grand Prix and extended his lead over the reigning world champion.

Hamilton, who started 9^th after taking a penalty, took the final podium spot from Kimi Raikkonen who stopped after a collision with one of his own mechanics during the pitstop.

The mechanic, Francesco Cigarini was immediately rushed to the medical centre and is currently recovering from a shinbone and fibula fracture.

Pole sitter, Sebastian Vettel had an advantage going into the race on Sunday. However, in the first round of pitstops the second placed Bottas and teammate Hamilton switched to the medium compound tyres – in theory a slower but more durable tyre and both the Ferrari’s put on the softs.

Both the Mercedes were undoubtedly going to the end of the race, the question was whether Ferrari could make their tyres last.

With Raikkonen out of this mixture, Hamilton had his eyes set on Bottas and Bottas on Vettel. Bottas inched his way to Vettel and by the last lap was filling up Vettel's mirrors. The Ferrari driver managed to make his tyres for a whopping 36 laps – 6 laps more than Pirelli expected them to last.

RedBull’s season is not to a good start with both the cars retiring. RedBull who insist that they have a car that is capable of competing with Mercedes and Ferrari seem to lack reliability.

5 things you should not tell an F1 fan

Things you should never tell an f1 fan:- 1. "The cars just go around in circles." This is probably the most common thing that F1 fans hear. To everyone who said that DO THOSE CIRCUITS LOOK LIKE CIRCLES ?. 2. "How hard can driving be?" These cars that are being driven are no ordinary road cars. To drive an F1 car you first need an FIA super licence. There is only hand full of drivers who have an active super licence meaning only a few are qualified to drive an F1 car . Additionally, when driving an F1 car there are a lot of other things that act on the drivers (keep reading). It's no easy job to drive an F1 car. 3. "*insert name of any other sport* is more physically exhausting and harder than F1." I magine that you're going at about 300 kmph, strapped to a 702 kg car. Now your heart is beating at 200 beats per minute and temperatures around you are hitting about 50-55 degrees cent
