Sebastian Vettel apologised to Ferrari for the incident which ultimately cost him at shot at winning the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Vettel spun on lap 38 of 57 while defending second position from Lewis Hamilton at the medium-speed Turn 4 corner, losing control of his car despite not making contact with the Mercedes driver. The spin damaged Vettel's tyres and the vibrations the car suffered meant his front wing tore off the car before he had made it back to the pit-lane.
Not only did it relegate Vettel down the order, but it also meant it was Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas who capitalised when Charles Leclerc's Ferrari engine suffered problems in the closing stages of the race.
