Andrea Kimi Antonelli stormed into the lead as the lights went out for the Bahrain Grand Prix at a wet Sepang, with Mercedes teammate George Russell slotting in behind him off the line.
Formula 1’s official account declared “LIGHTS OUT IN SEPANG!!!” as the Italian youngster seized the initiative from the restart under challenging wet-track conditions at the Malaysian circuit hosting this Bahrain Grand Prix weekend.
Antonelli’s launch put him clear at the front of the pack, followed by Russell, underlining a strong Mercedes one-two off the line as racing resumed after Safety Car periods and mixed tyre strategies earlier in the session.
The wet Sepang surface continues to define the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, rewarding decisive starts and tyre calls as drivers adapt to evolving grip levels.
