Fernando Alonso wins Bahrain in his Ferrari debut

Fernando Alonso won the Bahrain Grand Prix in his first drive for Ferrari as teammate Felipe Massa completed a one-two for the Italian team on his return from injury. Sebastian Vettel had led from pole until lap 34 when an apparent exhaust problem saw him slip down to fourth as Red Bull's crestfallen mechanics looked on. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton finished third on Sunday, with Nico Rosberg in fourth and Mercedes teammate Michael Schumacher fifth in his first Formula One race since he retired in 2006. Former world champion Alonso celebrated 25 points and a debut win by pounding his chest standing atop his F60, before hugging Massa, who was returning after his life-threatening head injury at the Hungarian Grand Prix last year.
