Bottas gets beached in Bahrain GP gravel, bringing out the Safety Car

Chris Medland reported Gasly going off on slicks while cars lapped behind the Safety Car, followed by five drivers switching from slicks to intermediates. F1 said Bottas was beached in the gravel on lap nine, bringing out a Safety Car. Medland later reported stops by drivers already on slicks because of tyre degradation and listed Verstappen, Antonelli and Hadjar at the top of the restart order.
