Lewis Hamilton held off pre-race favorite Max Verstappen to win a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.
In a nail-biting finale, Verstappen's car looked to have the speed to secure his 12th grand prix win and in the closing stages did briefly take the lead, only to hand it back to Hamilton after running wide off the track. "Amazing job guys," said Hamilton, talking to the Mercedes team radio. "I'm so grateful. Everybody back in the factory ... working so hard. I know we weren't quick enough but we managed to do it."More Related News
