F1 kicks off a new season at the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend.

Red Bull and Max Verstappen are heavy favourites to win at the Bahrain International Circuit having impressed during pre-season testing last week.

This tag was further backed up as the Dutchman secured pole position on Saturday with team-mate Sergio Perez joining him on the front row ahead of the Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
