Motor racing-Leclerc wins Bahrain opener in Ferrari one-two
March 20, 2022
MANAMA (Reuters) – Charles Leclerc won Formula One’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix in a Ferrari one-two finish with team mate 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.
Ferrari’s last win before Sunday was with Sebastian Vettel in Singapore in September 2019.
