The season-opening Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix will be taking place on Sunday, at the Bahrain International Circuit. Max Verstappen clocked the fastest lap in the third and final practice session to top the practice session on Saturday and Lewis Hamilton was in sixth place. Verstappen clocked 1 minute 32.544 seconds, 0.096 seconds quicker than Charles Leclerc's Ferrari, while Sergio Perez finished third in the second Red Bull. Meanwhile, the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Hamilton ended at fourth and sixth, with Carlos Sainz in-between.

Lewis Hamilton appeared less downbeat having secured fifth place on the grid for Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Earlier in the week the Mercedes driver had said the German team were facing, ‘much, much bigger problems,’ with the performance of their car than in recent years, and the former world champion and teammate George Russell had appeared well off the pace in testing and then Free Practice in recent days.
