About this Video: Hannes Arch of Austria came from behind to win the first Red Bull Air Race World Championship race of the year in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. It proved a scintillating triumph over Britain's Paul Bonhomme on a sizzling hot day in the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Nicolas Ivanoff of France stormed onto the podium with third place while Britain's Nigel Lamb established himself as a force to be reckoned with this year, taking fourth. Australia's Matt Hall, one of four rookies in the championship this year, had an outstanding performance in his very first race, grabbing a sensational fifth place on the challenging 6.6 km course of Air Gates set up just above the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf.
