Lewis Hamilton's Win At Bahrain GP Overshadowed By Grosjean's Huge Crash

Lewis Hamilton converted pole position into a race victory at a dramatic Bahrain Grand Prix which saw racing stopped for close to an hour-and-a-half.

Romain Grosjean’s shocking crash into the barriers on the opening lap saw red flags waved to stop the session, with the Haas driver miraculously walking away from a fireball and the wreckage of his car.

There was another incident on the opening lap after the restart, with Lance Stroll ending up upside down after a collision. The Racing Point driver emerged unscathed and racing resumed after only a few laps behind the Safety Car.

Max Verstappen kept Hamilton honest for the majority of the race but was unable to get within DRS distance of the world champion. Meanwhile, Valtteri Bottas endured a nightmare race but still managed to salvage an eighth-place finish after suffering a puncture.

Alex Albon inherited third place just three laps from the end of the race, with Sergio Perez suffering a power unit issue late on, robbing the Mexican a second straight podium finish after the Turkish Grand Prix.
