After winning the Bahrain Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel said that the race was decided by two overtaking, namely the one when he overtook Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg in the opening laps. The Red Bull racer then had no other race car in front of him, and as a result, the tires lasted longer.

Vettel fell for Alonso at the start, but soon overtook the Ferrari racer and then beat Rosberg. “The race was fantastic,” said the current world champion, who finished 9.1 seconds ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, who started the race in ninth place. “I have to thank the team. From the start to the finish, we did our job without mistakes. I knew it was important to get in the lead as soon as possible, and from there I just keep an eye on the tires. The race car was phenomenal. He was better from round to round. The race was wonderful as I was able to drive full throttle from lap to lap.

In the first turn, when I was fighting Alonso, it was very tight, ”Vettel explained. “Unfortunately I had to give in, but I was only able to overtake him back in the sixth corner and that was crucial. Nico was a harder nut to crack. I had to plan the attack on him a little better, as he was very fast on the planes. Overtaking was not as easy as I thought, but I still managed in the fourth turn. Then there was no one in front of me and I was able to squeeze everything out of the car. ”
