Well, these results are not accurate even for my prediction. Hamilton won the opener.
At the formation lap while Perez is coming to the grid the car has stopped due to the battery problem and he managed to start the car and made it enter the pit lane FIA has given another formation lap to all the drivers and Perez is going to start at pit lane.
The race started with hamilton at the pole and Max Verstappen alongside Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Charles Leclerc in the second row.
And it's light out!!! At the first corner, Verstappen leads and Hamilton is second followed by Valtteri Bottas and Leclerc. Leclerc overtaken Bottas.
At turn 3 Mazepin accelerates through turn 3 and spins. He crashed. And it's definitely going to be the safety car. At lap 4 the safety car has ended at the start of the race again in Verstappen in the lead and Hamiton in 2nd and Charles Leclerc in third.
Hamilton going to the pits at lap 14 with hard tyres. Verstappen still not coming to pits. Mercedes has triggered for the Undercut.
(If you don't know what is Undercut when two drivers are racing and the tyres of each of them had worn out the driver who is behind another pit early before home and with fresh tyres and better performance overtakes that driver. This is an Undercut.)
At lap 18 Max Verstappen pits for the fresh tyres. Hamilton in the lead of the race.
At lap 29 Hamilton pits for the brand new sets of hard tyres.
With 16 laps to go out of 56 laps, Hamilton is in the lead followed by Verstappen and Bottas. And Verstappen is going to chase him down.
At lap 53 Verstappen overtakes Hamilton a long way around the corner.
But the time they get out of the corner Verstappen's four wheels were out of the track. And Verstappen was told to give back the position for Hamilton.
At lap 56 Hamilton crosses the chequered flag first and wins the season opener. And Verstappen in 2nd and valteri Bottas on 3rd.
