McLaren meanwhile… woof. Could be a long season if these orange cars keep acting like lemons.

Seven different teams in Q3, as Ocon, Schumacher, Norris, Albon and Zhou miss out.

Early impressions are that the head-to-head battle for the title will be Verstappen in the Red Bull, holding strong from last year, against Leclerc in the vastly-improved Ferrari. Hamilton in the Mercedes may be bumped down to third banana for the first time in a long time. And don’t count out Sainz out in the other Ferrari for possibly being in the mix as well. Perez and Russell in the second Red Bull and Mercedes cars will be around, but probably won’t win a race.
From there, it’s a lottery. Haas and Alfa Romeo have improved out of sight, while McLaren have fallen back into the pack. That bottom seven could be in ANY order by the time we wrap things up in December.

1 Charles Leclerc 2 Max Verstappen 3 Carlos Sainz Jnr 4 Sergio Perez 5 Lewis Hamilton 6 Valtteri Bottas 7 Kevin Magnussen 8 Fernando Alonso 9 George Russell 10Pierre Gasly Interesting first qualifying. We'll have to see how it translates into a full race, but it promises another good season.

Mick would’ve made Q3 as well had he not messed up one corner, only a tenth out

Disappointed to see Mclaren so low down the order.
Though this looks like an Interesting, Haas looking a lot stronger, Alfa Romeo also looking not to bad.
Should be good.

Slightly odd seeing all the random people wandering around a completely packed grid again. 15 minutes til the first race of the F1 season.

Packed day of motorsports. Not just F1 in Bahrain, but also Indycar's season debut at Texas and NASCAR at the re-done Atlanta

Well, except for Ocon spinning Schumacher around at some point.

Verstappen and Leclerc trading the lead back and forth, great racing.

Verstappen absolutely divebombs it trying for a third time and locks up at Turn 1. That might put an end to that.

A late stop for new tyres for both Red Bulls.

Plot twist, Verstappen pits again and apparently might have some kind of issue as a result.
