An eventful Bahrain Grand Prix came to a close behind the safety car, with Lewis Hamilton securing his 11th victory of the season. He now edges ever closer to creating the joint record of most wins in a year, with both Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel tied on 13.
The race did not get off to the right start, with Romain Grosjean slamming into the wall and the Haas car almost instantly bursting into flames. It was not a sight that F1 fans wanted to see, but the best news came when he walked, albeit gingerly, into the safety car.
Replays showed that Grosjean tried to pass his teammate Magnussen, but was unaware of AlphaTauri’s Daniil Kvyat coming in from behind. The Frenchman was later on declared ‘okay’ despite a few minor burns, in an official statement from the Haas F1 team on their Twitter handle.
