Lewis Hamilton elated with Bahrain Grand Prix victory

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton admits that he was elated with his performance as he clinched victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton has revealed his delight over his victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver led from the front and managed to fend off the challenge of Kimi Raikkonen to secure back-to-back victories around the Bahrain circuit following his triumph in 2014.

"It was a good day at the office," Hamilton told Sky Sports News. "It was pretty hard because the Ferraris were quick and Nico [Rosberg] was quick and I wasn't able to pull the gaps as easily l would have hoped.

"It's always easier to chase in general and Ferrari have made a good step this weekend because they were really quick. But I was really happy because l had pace and l could answer to whoever today. I had control - it's not often you have that."

Hamilton now leads the Formula 1 world championship by 27 points following his third victory of the season.
