Vettel Dominates Bahrain GP Formula 1

Much to the disgust of Fernando Alonso who stood eighth after suffering a rear wing failure, it was Sebastian Vettel who dominated the Bahrain GP Formula 1 Sunday who clocked 1 hr 36 min 00.498 secs.

It was Vettel's second win in four races this year for Red Bull.

The world champion headed Lotus drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, who denied Paul di Resta a first career podium in the closing laps. The Scot had, like Raikkonen, done one fewer pit stops than the other leading runners but could not hold Grosjean.

Lewis Hamilton took fifth for Mercedes.

As for Alonso, his wing panel twice became stuck open when he used his DRS overtaking aid, forcing him to pit both times for mechanics adjust it. At the first, Ferrari mechanics banged it shut, but it stuck again as soon as he used it on the next lap and he had to stop again to have it knocked back into place.
