“A nightmare start for Vettel”: The press reviews

GREAT BRITAIN: Daily Mail: “World champion Hamilton was harassed until the very last second by Red Bull ace Max Verstappen (...) He delivered one of the best defensive drives of his career, if not the best ever, with Verstappen hot on his heels. Despite his tire advantage, the Red Bull man had to settle for second place.”

The Sun: “The son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher couldn't have an easy time on the rather weak Haas. And with 16th place in Bahrain, Mick did better than his seven-time world champion father Michael did 30 years ago in Belgium.”

The Guardian: “With his win at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton delivered a powerful and salutary reminder that if Max Verstappen is to wrest the title from the champion, he will be fought every inch of the way.”

ITALY: The Sports Gazette: “Hamilton heart and talent. Vettel, a nightmare start. In the duel with the young Verstappen, Hamilton shows all the class, the heart and the talent that have brought him seven world championship titles.

Corriere dello Sport: “Breathtaking finale between the Brit and the Dutchman, but in the end the Mercedes driver came out on top. Lewis Hamilton takes his first win of the season at the Bahrain Grand Prix.”

SPAIN: Brand: “Polemic victory for Hamilton with 0,7 seconds ahead of Verstappen. Verstappen took the lead five laps from the end, but the FIA ordered him to be overtaken again in a very controversial finale.”

Ace: “Hamilton saves his skin. Verstappen put the Brit under pressure until the end, but he had to give up the lead again and finished second.”

FRANCE: The team: “Of the four world champions in the race, only Hamilton shone. Alonso, Vettel and Räikkönen had a much more subtle Sunday (...) A weekend to forget for the French camp.”

AUSTRIA: Krone newspaper: “Hamilton wins duel thriller against Verstappen. The British Mercedes superstar held off Max Verstappen, who started from pole position, in a thrilling finish down to the final meters on Sunday. The Dutchman and Red Bull had to narrowly admit defeat after a real game of tire poker.”
