The U.K.'s Paul Bonhomme won the opening race of the 2015 Red Bull Air Race series in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, edging Australia's Matt Hall by eight one hundredths of a second in the final round. Canada's Pete McLeod, who is now sponsored by Garmin Virb, came third more than a half second behind. Hannes Arch, of Austria, was fourth and defending champion Nigel Lamb, of the U.K., was fifth. "Our whole team has a lot of experience and I think we're able to get out of the blocks faster than the other teams," said Bonhomme.
