Live Formula 1: race resumed after crashes in Bahrain | Motorsport

sport">On Sunday afternoon, Verstappen had the two Mercedes cars in front of him at the first start, as is so often the case. Lewis Hamilton, who already secured his seventh world title in Turkey two weeks ago, is leaving pole position on the Sakhir circuit.

sport">Hamilton was almost three tenths of a second ahead of his teammate Valtteri Bottas in qualifying. With the title in his pocket, Hamilton can race freely in the last three GPs of the season. Verstappen, who also takes third place in the World Cup position, has his teammate Alexander Albon next to him on the starting line-up. The Thai hopes to be able to race for Red Bull again next season, but he will have to prove himself in the last races of the year.

sport">Another GP in Bahrain is scheduled for next week, but another part of the Sakhir circuit will be used. The final race will be in Abu Dhabi on December 13.
