Oscar Piastri completed a flawless victory as George Russell held off Lando Norris for second at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

McLaren's Piastri led from lights to flag to finish 15 seconds clear of Mercedes' Russell, despite having had a seven-second lead erased midway through a frenetic race by a Safety Car period.

Norris, whose advantage over his team-mate Piastri at the top of the world championship was reduced to three points, passed Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in the closing stages to claim a podium after a hugely eventful evening from sixth on the grid.
