What a drive to do it from Perez after the heartbreak of last week missing out on a podium. He is driving so well.
Of course Mercedes absolutely botched this.
Sergio Perez sounds like he is in tears! What a race. He doesn’t have a drive for next year. He’s been replaced by Sebastian Vettel for next year.
Perez is the race winner.
Under any other circumstances, George Russell would be absolutely delighted with ninth and fastest lap.
A disastrous pit stop ruins his race. At least he’s got some points now in F1, but it won’t be much consolation.
A day to dream of for Racing Point who claim first and third. Lance Stroll gets himself on to the podium in third. A big weekend for Racing Point in their bid to finish third in the constructors’ championship.
It’s a brilliant result for Esteban Ocon. He had to have all of last season on the sidelines, he got into Renault and a second here is his reward for never giving up.
He’s done it!
Sergio Perez, who was hit by Charles Leclerc on the first lap that dropped him to 18th, wins the Sakhir Grand Prix!
This season keeps on delivering amazing moments.
Russell up to ninth.
Sergio Perez, who was hit on the opening lap, starts the last lap in front.
George Russell hauls himself up to 10th.
Sergio Perez two laps away from the first race win of his career!
Bottas is told: "We've got George on the soft carving through the field. He might get close on the last lap."
"These tyres are terrible," Bottas says.
George Russell has five laps to haul himself to the first points of his career. He's 13th and needs to overtake three.
Five minutes ago he was dreaming of his first win. Thirty minutes ago he was in the lead.
Sergio Perez is leading by NINE SECONDS. NINE.
One of the most amazing races of the season. We've had some amazing ones in 2020.
"I don't know what to say," Russell says.
"I share your feelings mate," is the response from the garage. "Keep your head down."
Perez, Ocon, Stroll. One, two, three with not long left!
