It's finally here! The first race of the Formula 1 season is upon us with Max Verstappen on pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The stage is set for a titanic battle between the Dutchman and rival Lewis Hamilton, who starts second ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. Rounding out the top five are Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly of AlphaTauri, with both drivers no doubt keen to pull off an upset at the Bahrain International Circuit.
