The stars have so far aligned in Lewis Hamilton’s favor in Bahrain

While Lewis Hamilton is amassing immense attention during the ongoing Bahrain GP weekend, his on-track exploits have also so far proved very strong. Hamilton topped yesterday’s FP2 session with a scintillating time of 1.30.374. His teammate, George Russell was a close second with 1.30.580.

The W15 is functioning very well around the free-flowing Bahrain International Circuit, and Hamilton is expected to have a huge say in the Qualifying session. If all goes well, he could be seen securing pole position for Saturday’s 57-lap Bahrain Grand Prix.

It has been over two years since Lewis Hamilton was seen stepping on to the top step of the F1 podium. The Red Bulls have so far not managed to hit their mark in Bahrain and thus, the upcoming race is a brilliant opportunity for the Brit to secure a Grand Prix win. He is still as fast as ever to deliver the goods and bring humongous simles to the faces of his fans.
