The Formula 1 circus heads to the middle east for the 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix where the action between teams will take place under flood lights.

Bottas claimed the first blood of the season beating his teammate and five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton by over 20 secs in the season opener at Melbourne.

Mercedes' dominance and Ferrari's lackluster performance in the Australian Grand Prix came as the surprise to many fans especially after the pre-season F1 test data from various teams expected the latter have a strong start to the new season. Red Bull's Max Verstappen gave Honda their first F1 podium after a decade while his new teammate Gasly failed to finish in points after failing to overtake Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat.

Bahrain has been the Ferrari territory with the Maranello based teams winning 6 out of 14 races in the past while Mercedes has won 3 and Red Bull with 2 wins.
