Ferrari dominated the first race of the new generation of F1 in the switch to ground effect cars from this year, with Charles Leclerc leading a 1-2 ahead of team-mate Carlos Sainz Jr, having also claimed pole position and set the fastest lap.
However, it was far from plain sailing with Red Bull pushing Ferrari the entire weekend, but both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez failed to finish the Bahrain GP due to a fuel pump failure in the closing stages.
