About this episode

The delayed Bahrain Grand Prix is now going ahead -and from the Sepang circuit in Malaysia!It's been 9 years since F1 raced here and many on the grid will never have raced this track. With it's blend of hard braking, sweeping fast corners, and two straights broken up by a tight hairpin, there are overtaking opportunities aplenty. Throw in the heat, the humidity, the high heat degradation on the tyres, AND the fact that it will almost certainly rain at some point, and we have a very interesting weekend's racing ahead!Will the updated Mercedes be caught by anyone here? Will Red Bull have another double podium? We can't wait to find out!
