Fernando Alosno Wins Bahrain Grand Prix 1020
Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa made a spectacular Ferrari one-two in the first race of the season. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, was leading the Bahrain Grand Prix, but technical problems allowed Alonso, Massa and Hamilton to overtake him.
Vettel eventually finished fourth, holding off the Mercedes pair of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher.
Very exciting start of a season, which promises to deliver a number of epic driving duels.
“It’s a special day for me,” said Alonso. “Coming back to the top of the podium is always special and it’s even more special with Ferrari, with all the history behind the team and the expectations a driver has driving for Ferrari.
“There is no better way to start the relationship. I am in the best team in the world.
“To be first and second is the result all the guys in Marinello and all the guys here at the track deserve.”
