Even in Bahrain is the Mercedes of Hamilton and Rosberg stable to beat. Ferrari, however, there is. It is just behind and try to recover the minimum distance that now makes it seem much stronger than the Germans. After 30 laps Hamilton, defending champion and leading the drivers’ standings, leads the race is taking behind teammate Rosberg that the two Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen who gives the impression of being faster, albeit starting from the second row.
The race is open for third place on the podium. Raikkonen thanks to a race strategy other than the Vette and soft tires got through the pits teammate and get right behind the two Mercedes. The only one who can put some thought to the red Ferrari is Bottas with his Williams who manages to earn the fourth place but fails to keep to the end. Sebastian Vettel, who was a little ‘back fails to overcome it also because this race has had problems with the tires. Raikkonen simultaneously tries to clinch second place strenuously defended by Nico Rosberg. The risk is always the one-two Mercedes, but Raikkonen is very strong at this time. Raikkonen wants second place and engages Rosberg two laps from the end, recovering almost 16 seconds in eight laps. And Raikkonen takes second place on the last lap for an error of Rosberg.
