Lewis Hamilton wins thrilling Bahrain GP after Rosberg battle Lewis Hamilton beat Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in a thrillingly close battle at the Bahrain Grand Prix. With the pair in a league of their own, the battle became a 10-lap sprint after a late safety car period wiped out Hamiltons 10-second advantage. On the faster soft tyre, Rosberg had the advantage, but Hamilton held him off to the end with aggressive defence. A frantic battle for third place was won by Force Indias Sergio Perez, from Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian was able to pass Perezs team-mate Nico Hulkenberg, struggling with energy harvesting problems in his Mercedes power-unit, with four laps to go and close in on Perez, who did just enough to keep the Red Bull at bay. Hulkenberg held off a train of cars including Sebastian Vettels Red Bull, the Williams drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, and the Ferrari pair Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, who took the final points positions.
