Mercedes: one-two victory in Bahrain and Hamilton defeats Rosberg in epic desert duel

Processed with Moldiv

 

The 2014 F1 season continue this weekend with the third round, and first one in middle east, precisly in Bahrain with The Bahrain Grand Prix : In Arabic: جائزة البحرين الكبرى‎.

Before heading to results let’s catch up some history of the race.

The third round of the 2014 season was outstanding in every sense, from Mercedes’ breathless intra-team battle for victory to Force India springing a surprise and surging onto the final step of the podium.

There were fights throughout the order: Daniel Ricciardo rescued fourth for Red Bull, despite starting from 13th, while Williams’ Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas hounded four-time champion Sebastian Vettel – and each other – in the fight for sixth. McLaren were also in podium contention until late technical woes, while Esteban Gutierrez escaped unharmed from being pitched into a barrel roll at Turn 1. We take a team-by-team look back on Sunday’s action at Sakhir…

Mercedes got a one two – Lewis Hamilton wins & Nico Rosberg gots P2. Amid all the calls for changes to the new regulations, Mercedes made the best response they could by letting Hamilton and Rosberg run mano a mano in an epic fight for victory, producing the most exciting race yet of the new formula. The intervention of the safety car on lap 40 compromised Hamilton and favoured Rosberg, who’d opted to do his middle stint of medium tyress ready for a late-race charge on softs when Hamilton would be on the slower rubber. But in a tremendous duel the Englishman just fended off the German. Both described the race as one of the toughest they’d ever driven.

As we said the race was outstanding in every sense. As Sauber had a brutal race, with Sutil taken out in a silly incident with Bianchi on lap 18, and Gutierrez out on his head when Maldonado simply ran into the side of him in Turn 1 just after the Lotus driver had exited the pits. Esteban Gutierrez retired on lap 40 after that spectacular accident. Fortunately the Mexican was unharmed.
