Leklerk dominated from start to finish. In the other Ferrari he did not throw himself into the two safety car stages triggered by the whirlpools of Carlos Sains and Sebastian Vettel in the Aston Martin $. Twice he rejected attempts to overtake Max Verstappen at Red Bull, who retired in the last three of the race. The world champion did not finish the third race of the season for the second time after losing the opening game in Bahrain.
Russell before Hamilton
Leklerk, who started from the polar position, significantly extended his lead in the overall standings with his fourth win in Formula 1, his second win of the season in Bahrain this year. He is now 33 points ahead of second-placed Russell.
Russell advanced his first stage as a Mercedes driver ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. As a staff member of the Williams racing team, he finished second at the Belgian Grand Prix last August – only three laps behind the safety car, not a single race.
Finn Valteri Botas finished fourth in the Alfa Romeo with four world championship points. In the second car of the Hinville team, Chinese Zhao Guanyu missed the count in the eleventh place.
