Sergio Perez takes sensational maiden win in Sakhir GP
as tyre issues ruin Russell's charge
Sakhir
[6 December 2020]
Sergio Perez’s F1 future may be uncertain – but whatever happens,
the Mexican is now an F1 winner, after he benefitted from a nightmare
Sakhir Grand Prix for Mercedes to claim his first ever Formula 1
victory, as Renault’s Esteban Ocon and Racing Point’s Lance Stroll
completed the podium on a wild evening in Bahrain.
It had initially looked as though George Russell was set to pull off an incredible maiden victory on his first outing for Mercedes, having aced the start to lead pole-sitter Valtteri Bottas for the majority of the Grand Prix.
But Mercedes gave Russell the wrong tyres when he was pitted under a Safety Car on Lap 62 of 87, forcing another pit stop to correct the error – while Russell then suffered a puncture that left him P9 at the flag for what was at least his first ever F1 points finish.
