Rosberg the early impetus in the 2016 title battle

Lewis Hamilton says he feels really chilled heading away from the Bahrain GP despite fresh start-line problems handing Nico Rosberg the early impetus in the 2016 title battle. For the second successive race, Hamilton lost the advantage of pole position within seconds of the lights going out as a fast-starting Rosberg moved clear off the line.Hamiltons W07 was then hit by a fast-starting Valtteri Bottas, an incident which damaged his cars bodywork and floor and dropped him to ninth place. Despite struggling for downforce - a deficit Mercedes have suggested cost him one second per lap - the Briton found himself back in the podium positions after the first pit stops but was unable to hunt down Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen for second place.

Ive had a lot of worse.Qualifying was great - the last two qualifyings have been good - I think I had the set-up right for the race, but unfortunately I was unable to exploit that. It is what it is.Bahrain GP driver ratingsA smiling Hamilton added: Congratulations to Nico - an easy day for him for sure - I live to fight another day.Hamilton finished 20 seconds behind Raikkonen and admitted: I had damage on my car, I couldnt keep him with Kimi, he had his perfect package.I did everything I could, but the rear end was sliding around a lot so I couldnt eek out anymore from the tyres so that was really what we had to do.
