Vettel win overshadowed by injury to Ferrari mechanic

Sebastian Vettel’s victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix was overshadowed following a horrific double leg break suffered by a member of his Ferrari team.

Vettel executed a miraculous one-stop strategy to move 17 points clear of Lewis Hamilton in the championship race, but his triumph was marred after team-mate Kimi Raikkonen ran over a Ferrari mechanic.

The mechanic, named as Francesco Cigorini, was taken to a nearby Bahraini hospital on Sunday night with a fractured tibia and fibula on his left leg following the dramatic incident on lap 36.
