Hamilton won at a canter despite the Silver Arrows lagging behind the red Ferraris for most of the race. Then it got even worse for Ferrari as race leader Charles Leclerc’s engine started losing power. Ferrari looked in ominous form after dominating every practice session and every section of qualifying on the 5.4-kilometre (3.3-mile) desert circuit. As it turned out, Hamilton needn’t have worried much because another Ferrari flop was on the way. Hamilton surged past him for his first Bahrain win since 2015 and third overall.
