F1 Bahrain Grand Prix - LIVE!
The waiting is over and after an epic conclusion to the 2021 season that feels like only yesterday, the 2022 Formula One world title fight starts here.
Charles Leclerc won the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix in a Ferrari one-two finish with teammate Carlos Sainz on Sunday.
Mercedes's seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton took a surprise third place after a nightmare for Red Bull and reigning champion Max Verstappen who failed to score. Sergio Perez also suffered a late DNF.
Ferrari's last win before Sunday was with Sebastian Vettel in Singapore in September 2019.
“[I’m] so happy, the last two years have been incredibly difficult, so we knew this would be a big opportunity,” Leclerc said after the race.
“The guys have been incredible, it’s an amazing car and we start the season in the best possible way.”
