CRI听力:Hamilton Wins Bahrain F1 Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton has claimed the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix. He won the race on Sunday after a duel with Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg.

The win was the Briton's second in a row, the 24th of his career.

Hamilton made the better start from second place on the grid and led into the first corner.

However, he was never able to shake off Rosberg.

"Nico drove fantastically well. It was so fair but so hard to keep him behind me."

Hamilton won by a little over 1 seconds and described the race as the hardest since his 2007 debut season.

Rosberg, winner of the season-opener in Australia, stayed top of the overall standings with 61 points to Hamilton's 50 after three races.

"I strongly dislike coming second to Lewis, but it was definitely the most exciting race I have ever done in my entire career."

So far, Mercedes has won all three races in 2014.
