Lewis Hamilton Has A Nightmare In Bahrain

Lewis Hamilton will be glad that today’s race is over after a nightmare race that resulted in him gaining zero points.  The race started badly with Lewis getting an extremely slow start off of the line, drivers overtook and swerved to avoid Hamilton which resulted in him dropping to tenth place behind arch rival Fernando Alonso.

Hamilton fought frantically to try and regain places and pushed hard until he crashed into the back of an unusually slow Fernando Alonso.  The crash resulted in Lewis losing his front wing which meant he had to nurse his Mclaren back to the pits for a new one.  Unfortunately by the time he had rejoined the race he was in 17 th place.

To make matters worse Hamilton’s car seemed to have taken on damage as he fought to control a slow Mclaren for the remainder of the race. Hamilton eventually finished in 13th place which is a far cry from the podium he was hoping for.  Mclaren will be working hard with Hamilton and his car to make sure he is right back on form for Barcelona in three weeks time.

One question that many people are asking is: Did Alonso break or slow down to cause the accident in lap 2?  We will keep you posted on that!
