2018 Bahrain Grand Prix – Gallery

Sparks were flying in the first night race of the 2018 Formula 1 championship.

After hitting lucky in Australia, Ferrari appeared to be in control in Bahrain, with Sebastian Vettel taking his second victory of the year in his 200th career grand prix, though the weekend was one to forget when a botched pit stop left one mechanic in hospital.

Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton was on the back-foot after a gear-box change and five place grid penalty, but the Mercedes sliced through the order to take third place, behind team-mate Valtteri Bottas.

Honda enjoyed its best result since returning to the championship after rookie Pierre Gasly took fourth in just his seventh grand prix, and Marcus Ericsson claimed his first points finish since 2015.

Here are the best pictures of the action from the Bahrain Grand Prix.
