Lewis Hamilton wins the incident-packed Bahrain Grand Prix
Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton took his 95th career Formula 1 Grand Prix race win in the incident-packed Bahrain Grand Prix race Sunday (Nov 29).
The race began with the huge incident involving Romain Grosjean (Haas) and Daniil Kvyat (Scuderia AlphaTauri) which forced Grosjean's car to hit the barrier heavily. Thankfully, Grosjean survived from the incident after his car burnt following that incident. The French driver was later taken to the hospital for further treatment. The race was stopped for one hour due to barrier repair on incident location.
The race was restarted, but another incident occured once again, this time involving Kvyat and Racing Point driver Lance Stroll. Kvyat shunted Stroll heavily, but the Canadian driver luckily survived from that incident as well. As the result of the 2nd incident, the safety car deployed for 5 laps, and Kvyat was later served a 10-second stop/go penalty for the collision.
Red Bull Racing drivers Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon completed the podium by finishing the race 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Hamilton's Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas finished eighth place and scored four points to hang on to 2nd place in the current championship standings from Verstappen.
