#9 Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton - 1st
Trending
The start of the 2018 season has been a tough one for the current world champion but Sunday's first win of the campaign will be a sense of relief.
Hamilton had a similarly bad start last year but was able to make up for it and win his fourth world championship to deny Sebastian Vettel a fifth crown.
After the problems the Briton had with Vettel on the Baku Street Circuit nearly than 12 months ago, Hamilton will be delighted to get his first ever win in the land of fire.
Driver's rating: 7/10
Valtteri Bottas - DNF
The man from Finland will want to forget Sunday's race very quickly.
Especially when he knew he could have won Mercedes their first win of the year instead of Hamilton completing the job instead.
It was going so well for Bottas after the pitstops which saw him go ahead of Vettel.
But then Bottas was given the short straw when a piece of debris punctured his right rear tyre, retiring the Fin from the race.
