WORLD CHAMPION Lewis Hamilton won his third race of the season to comfortably take the Bahrain Grand Prix (April 19).
The Mercedes driver was always in control of the campaign’s fourth race with team-mate Nico Rosberg beaten for second by Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.
Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel wrecked his podium chances by going off track and damaging his car while racing Rosberg.
However, it was Hamilton who was the boss today under the lights at the Sakhir track on a windy desert night.
Bahrain pole-sitter Hamilton now has 93 points in his quest to retain his crown.
Rosberg (66) and Vettel (65) are the men chasing him.
A jubilant Hamilton said: “The Ferraris gave us a run for our money it was difficult to look after the tyres in those conditions.
“I think my brakes got a bit warm when I was behind the back markers, it wasn’t really a problem.”
