#1 Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton - 1st
Trending
Lewis Hamilton knows Sunday's race was a lucky win thanks to Charles Leclerc's Ferrari giving up on him in the closing stages.
But luck is part of the winning formula when fighting for championships.
Bahrain was no doubt a Ferrari circuit as the pace was clearly on their side throughout the whole weekend.
Qualifying and race pace was spot on but their reliability on Leclerc's car ruined it all for them.
Hamilton showed very good sportsmanship towards Leclerc at the end of the race and warned his colleagues that they need to do better.
Driver rating - 7/10
Valtteri Bottas - 2nd
Valtteri Bottas still leads the driver's championship after the opening two races by just a single point that separates the Finn from Lewis Hamilton.
It was a quiet race from Bottas which reminds you of some of his performances from last year where he didn't win any races in 2018.
Bottas will be hoping for more action-packed races and repeats of Melbourne throughout the new season.
