Driver of the day: Pierre Gasly

A fantastic drive landed him the driver of the day accolade.

It was a heroic drive from Pierre Gasly to finish in fourth place for Toro Rosso Honda.

The Frenchman drove an impeccable race from start to finish to guide his car home and pick up a very decent points haul for the team. The turn around from Australia has been brilliant from the team and this result in Bahrain is a huge feel-good story for F1, unless you are McLaren of course.

Never really threatened from behind, fastest in the speed trap at some points of the weekend and a brilliant qualifying performance, many will be hoping this marks the turning of a corner for the team.

Teammate Brendon Hartley had an eventful race, contact with Sergio Perez on the opening lap landed the Kiwi a 10-second penalty but came back to finish 13th.
