$RACE
“Charles Leclerc won the Bahrain Grand Prix Sunday night, the opening round of the 2022 F1 World Championship, leading Carlos Sainz in a Ferrari 1-2 finish“–Paul Ebeling.
Mr. Leclerc held off a challenge from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who swapped the lead in the middle phase of the race. But Mr. Verstappen was forced out with a loss of power in the closing stages.
Red Bull’s day turned to disaster when Sergio Perez lost 3rd place on the final lap when his engine cut out, handing Lewis Hamilton the 3rd spot on the podium.
