( AFP ) - British driver Lewis Hamilton finished 13th in the Bahrain Grand Prix after suffering a nightmare Sunday afternoon.
The pre-race F1 championship leader was always struggling having dropped from third to 11th at the start after getting stuck on the grid when the red lights went out.
The British driver then lost his front wing after ramming into the back of former team-mate Fernando Alonso's Renault on lap two. He survived a massive trip across the gravel to pit for a new nose but returned back in 18th spot.
