Nico Rosberg won his second race of the season with an impressive drive at the 2016 Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix. The German took the lead at the start and was never seriously threatened, eventually crossing the line over 10 seconds clear of second-placed Kimi Raikkonen.

In turn, the Finn had an easy time holding off Lewis Hamilton, who recovered to third in a damaged car following contact at the first corner.

Daniel Ricciardo drove exceptionally to take fourth for the second consecutive race, just ahead of another of the weekend's top performers—Haas' Romain Grosjean. If his fine form continues, it will no longer be a surprise to see him in and around top-six runners.

The Chinese Grand Prix is next up, with practice set to get under way on April 15. As we look forward to the last east Asian race until September, here's how the drivers rank.

 

Note on F1 Driver Power Rankings
