What happened: Fernando Alonso overtook Arvid Lindblad to claim 10th place at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton was held up behind Isack Hadjar, causing both to lose ground to the Mercedes ahead.

Why it matters: Alonso's move demonstrates that Aston Martin is far more competitive at this circuit than they were last weekend. Hamilton's inability to clear Hadjar threatens his podium chances as the leaders pull further away.

What to watch: Watch if Hamilton can execute a pass on Hadjar to resume his pursuit of the front of the field.
