Max Verstappen dominated the first race of the season at the 2024 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, beating Sergio Perez by over 20 seconds.
It was ultimately a one-sided affair with Verstappen picking up from where he left off last year.
He remained untroubled at the front, but teammate Perez had to get past the Ferraris and George Russell to finish second.
Carlos Sainz finished on the podium after an impressive drive. While Charles Leclerc appeared to struggle with a brake issue in the first half of the race, Sainz made the most of it to secure third.
F1 will be back in seven days for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - which will also be on Saturday.
