As we get ready for round four of the 2025 F1 season, just a single point separates Lando Norris and Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship. Verstappen has won the last two Bahrain GPs, and taken three of the last four poles for Red Bull, but remarkably, McLaren has never won in Sakhir. Its last podium came in 2010 when Lewis Hamilton, now at Ferrari, took third in the season-opener, but it is McLaren's best chance to end that extraordinary drought. But do you think they can? On a track surface which should favour McLaren over Red Bull, who do you think will win the Bahrain Grand Prix? Simply let us know by voting in the poll below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
