The second unlikely podium followed the Sakhir Grand Prix, and this race alone was one of the highlights of the season. With Hamilton out following a positive COVID-19 test, Williams driver George Russell was drafted in. An incredibly talented and popular driver, fans of Formula 1 have been waiting years for Russell to get the chance to prove himself, and that he did with a commanding drive around the Outer Circuit of the Bahrain track. Unbelievably bad luck took the win away from him not once but twice, with a mix up of tyres by the pit crew and a tyre failure ironically caused by Russell’s own Williams car.
