Mexican Sergio Perez finished runner-up, a distant 11.9 seconds behind his double world champion team mate

“Very lovely that, really good result. We had good race pace,” Verstappen told the team on his slowing down lap. “Very happy with that. Thank you guys.As they celebrated and the night sky filled with fireworks, Ferrari were left licking their wounds again with Charles Leclerc sidelined by a loss of power while running in third place and Carlos Sainz then overtaken by Alonso.It was the first time he had won in Bahrain and also the first time he had triumphed in a Formula One opener.

Veteran double world champion Alonso, in his 356th race, then passed Sainz with a thrilling wheel-to-wheel move 12 laps from the end. “To come here and finish on the podium in the first race of the year, it is amazing what Aston Martin did over the winter to have the second best car on race one. This is just unreal,” he told the crowd after the finish.

It was a remarkable drive from the young Canadian, who broke both his wrists and big toe in a cycling accident in Spain two weeks ago.
