    Hammy clearly not happy with the car after the first stop, and finished half a minute behind Bottas.

    Great win for Bottas though, well done.

    Mad Max couldn't get past Lewis so that's something.

    Ferrari pace obviously not good.

    Interesting finish. Mercedes one two, with Hamilton afraid to press because of tyre wear. Clogstappen third, Vettel 4th, Leclerc closed up to Vettel rear end for 5th.

    The Ferraris have better speed in the Bahrain sun, edging the Mercedes by 0.6secs on Friday.

    Remains to be seen if Mercedes are pulling another fast one or Ferrari have solved the straight line speed deficit they had in Melbourne, and at what cost in other areas.

    FP3 about to start, cooler conditions after overnight rain.

    Not sure we'll see any clues on the speed as it seems they might be trying out the tyres for wear.

    Track temperature 47C and dropping to 40C. That will test them.

    Hamilton sets the fastest lap but boy is he fighting the car.

    Ferraris set the pace with Leclerc up front.

    There are extra start lights in Bahrain after drivers in Melbourne reported problems seeing them over the new, higher rear wings.

    Ferraris loving this track, and Leclerc loving being in front of Vettel. Second clear of everyone else in Q1.

    How does Grosjean still get a drive? He's going to kill someone sooner or later.

    Leclerc gets pole and Vettel fills the front row, with the Mercedes behind them.

    I think they'll just be glad they got the gap down to 0.3.

    The French kid is good. Vettel won't be happy.

    First couple of laps were exciting, Vettel took Leclerc, Bottas took Hamilton, and then they reversed again.

    The youngster is three seconds clear of Vettel and Hamilton is hanging on to Vettel.

    Mad Max took Sainz out then pitted early for Inters.

    Quite a race, Vettel lost it trying to keep Hammy at bay, spun his car, damaged his tyres and then his front wing fell off under his car, so he's back in 6th.

    Leclerc has stayed clear of all of it and is looking comfortable for the win.

    Hammy clear in second with Bottas third.

    Bottas is taking 6 secs a lap out of Leclerc, he's heading for 2nd

    Mad Max can take Leclerc on the last lap too

    A sickener for the youngster but it's not his fault.

    Saving grace for the youngster, the Renaults broke down and the race finishes under safety car:\

    1. Ham
    2. Bot
    3. Lec
    4. Mad Max
    5. Vet

    Two weeks for Mercedes to work on the pace before we go to China.

    I'm sure Hammy will be relieved and I'm glad the kid got a podium.

    And a shout out to the teenager Norris who got an excellent 7th.

    My mate just sent me this. I think he spent the afternoon in the beer tent.

    You seem to have enjoyed yourself through the race, 'Arry.

    A lot more than Ferrari did.

    Actually a good race in difficult conditions, although the hoolie blowing into turn 4 is what let Lewis get past Vettel and force him into a mistake.

    And it turns out it was a cylinder problem on Leclerc's car, which makes it an even more admirable job getting a podium out of it, albeit with a bit of luck at the end.

    If only Vettel could be as professional as his team mate, and as eloquent as Hamilton.
