2018 Bahrain GP, Qualifying: live results and updates. Sebastian and Kimi are ready to challenge Mercedes for pole position ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Sakhir circuit is a medium-low load circuit that requires a lot of “mechanical” traction and a perfect use of the traction tires which, due to the temperatures and longitudinal stresses, are considerably under stress. In 2017 we witnessed a great victory by Sebastian Vettel taking advantage of the strength of the SF70H, tire consumption, and a “debacle” Mercedes from that point of view. Can it be repeated in 2018? Given the overall performance difference between Mercedes and Scuderia Ferrari, the Maranello team does not seem to be favourite, but Sebastian and Kimi will most definitely do everything possible to confirm the splendid result in Australia and try to once again surprise Mercedes.

Join us in the afternoon for the latest updates and results from the Bahrain International Circuit as the qualifying session ahead of the 2018 Bahrain Grand Prix is about to start, with Scuderia Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at the wheel of the SF71H, ready to challenge Mercedes and Red Bull for a first row start.
