Hamilton's Bahrain Three-Car Overtake Is A Thing Of Beauty
Having started ninth thanks to a gearbox penalty, Lewis Hamilton had plenty of ground to make up during Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Thankfully, an opportunity arose on lap five, which the Mercedes AMG driver seized via a ballsy manoeuvre that saw him pass Fernando Alonso, Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg in one go on the start/finish straight.
Naturally, the superior straight-line speed of the AMG W09 and the deployment of DRS helped Hamilton’s cause, but make no mistake - this was a tricky and risky move which the British driver pulled off rather beautifully.
Hamilton eventually finished third behind teammate Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. The latter driver had to fend off a late charge from Bottas, taking victory by just 0.699 seconds. Fellow Scuderia pilot Kimi Raikkonen retired meanwhile, following a pit stop blunder that left a mechanic with a broken leg.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

what about these sparks??
It’s quite normal ever since they introduced the titanium skid blocks in 2015 . They still look absolutely spectacular though.
