Track Torque: Who do you back for Bahrain?

The race will be under lights this Sunday (8th).

This weekend we go to a desert in the Middle East, maybe for another pleasant surprise at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Can Sebastian Vettel do it again for Ferrari, is it Lewis Hamilton’s turn? Or maybe Max Verstappen? These are just three potential possibilities.

Ferrari go there charged up and with huge potential from both Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.

The new car bristles with exciting innovations like the blown mirrors which allow air in at the front and out of the back with clever intentions.

It will get better and better at every race as the car gets sorted.

The Silver Arrows are raring to go and either Valtreri Bottas or Hamilton are potential winners this weekend.

Overtaking at Sakhir is better than at Melbourne and this will add enormously to the spectacle.

The Red Bullers are not sleeping either and although Verstappen is favoured, Daniel Ricciardo is more than capable of pulling it out of the hat.

It will be a just reward for him as he was unlucky in home town Melbourne.

Renault and McLaren have moved forward in leaps and bounds, so I expect very good results from both of them.

It will be interesting to see who of the drivers out of Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne perform best.

The Haas ‘junior Ferrari’ team should come back strong with Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnusssen.

I hope that Bahrain will again show us that cars can overtake especially in the DRS zones and that we have not lost any of this spectacle of motor eacing.

We should be in for a tantalising race which starts at 4pm this Sunday (8th).

The race is under lights. Please check qualifying time on Saturday.
