2015 Bahrain Grand Prix Review and thoughts

Review of the forth round of the 2015 F1 season at Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Overall, I thought it was an entertaining race to watch. Lewis Hamilton was on pole for Sunday's race. Hamilton dominate the race, while his team-mate and the Ferrari drivers' challenge for second place throughout the race. With Hamilton lead most of the laps to conclude with a race win in this seasons Bahrain Grand Prix despite losing his brakes for the last few laps of the race for his third race win of the season.



While, Kimi Räikkönen finished second place in the Ferrari to give his first podium of the season and his first podium for over a year, Raikkonen was three seconds behind Hamilton at the end.

Meanwhile, Hamilton's team-mate Nico Rosberg finished in third place in the other Mercedes to complete the podium, Rosberg was six seconds behind Hamilton at the end of the fifty-seven lap race.
