00:01Brand new season, brand new dawn for Formula 1, it's the Bahrain Grand Prix

00:07and it's lights out and away we go!

00:09Brilliant start then for Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton already trying to get past Carlos Sainz

00:14but it's Leclerc on the inside ahead of Verstappen, Carlos Sainz stays in third, Perez on the inside now with Lewis Hamilton

00:21there's a little bit of a kerfuffle going on through Turn 2 but Leclerc makes it into the lead

00:25and Hamilton has got half a car length, now a whole car length ahead of Sergio Perez

00:29and now he's been challenged as Perez by Kevin Magnussen, Leclerc into Turn 4 from Verstappen Sainz

00:35Hamilton on the inside now of Kevin Magnussen and then comes Perez and Russell

00:40Yes, Perez got out of shape coming out of Turn 2, had to get out of the throttle

00:45that cost him two places in the end as he tried to get back up alongside Lewis Hamilton

00:52Meanwhile the FIA stewards have decided Esteban Ocon should be given a five second penalty

00:58for causing a collision, that I think goes along with what the FIA were saying from those guidelines

01:04Sergio Perez is trying to get a bit closer to Kevin Magnussen himself

01:08and we'll see with these new regulations whether it is much easier to follow

01:11as a lock up there from Kevin Magnussen going into Turn 1, gives half a sniff to Sergio Perez to try and get past

01:19he couldn't do it out of Turn 3 but he might on the run now down to Turn 4, Magnussen moves to the inside to try and cut him off

01:25Perez is going to have to go the long way round, Magnussen's got that one covered

01:28unless Perez can get him on the exit of Turn 4 and Perez the wily old campaigner might be a front tyre ahead going down the hill

01:36he's now a whole car ahead, going down the hill, Magnussen gave him the chance, Perez said thank you very much

01:43As Sergio Perez there getting...

01:46That's Hamilton and Perez, look Hamilton's got DRS here, he's going to have a go into Turn 4

01:50that is an awful lot easier than it might have been this time last year at Red Bull and a Mercedes going wheel to wheel into Turn 4

01:57Perez stays within the white lines, Max Verstappen couldn't manage it 12 months ago, Perez up to 4th place

02:05Lap 17 and the fastest lap of this race goes to Max Verstappen who's going now for the lead of the race

02:11and in a shower of sparks makes his way into Turn 1 ahead of Charles Leclerc

02:16tried to get past Leclerc as he came out of the pits, had to wait a lap

02:21but now can Leclerc with DRS get back at Verstappen, we're heading towards Turn 4

02:26this has been a bit of a problem for these two in the past, no problem this time for Charles Leclerc

02:31can he stay on track and it's just as he retakes the lead from Max Verstappen

02:38and Leclerc immediately tries to move around to break the slipstream

02:42and you can do that gently, once or twice, but you can't do it at the last moment

02:48and has he covered the inside...

02:49He's doing it again, he's going for it again Max Verstappen

02:52and he's got a quarter of a car length in front

02:54now they come out, Charles turn 2

02:56and he's got a couple of car lengths in front Max Verstappen

02:59that was so far back

03:01but once again Leclerc's got the DRS

03:03this time he's got the inside line

03:05forces Max a little bit wide

03:07goes into Turn 4

03:08Leclerc for the second lap running

03:10has retaken the lead

03:12and has come out of Turn 4 ahead

03:14this is absolutely epic!

03:18Leclerc's using his battery pack in an attack or defensive mode rather

03:22look at that, it's miles different

03:24it's miles different

03:26oh that's a big old lockup Max

03:27well this time he locks up

03:29and did you hear the cheers of the crowd

03:31who are absolutely loving this under the lights in Bahrain

03:34at this time around

03:35Charles Leclerc with the aid of that lockup

03:37has got the advantage going into Turn 4

03:39and he should be far enough ahead

03:41to keep that advantage as well

03:43Max, is the wheel heavy in both directions?

03:47so both left hand and right hand?

03:49everywhere, everywhere, it's not even smooth

03:51well he's going to slow down because we're going to get a safety car here

03:54because Pierre Gasly's Alfa Tauri has overheated and has caught fire

03:59the marshal straight on there with the extinguisher

04:01but that is a very, very hot Alfa

04:05real disappointment for him and we could see Martin

04:08yeah it's a complete power failure look from his dashboards gone completely

04:12so it's not an engine blow

04:15and this is Max's favourite trick isn't it?

04:17yeah

04:18trying to hustle the guy who's about it

04:21and he's left himself very tight on that last corner actually has Max

04:25so no wonder the Ferrari disappeared

04:27it's not helped and look Sainz is right on the tail of Max Verstappen

04:31as they head down the straight

04:32Leclerc is away and off into the distance

04:34Sainz is alongside Max Verstappen

04:36Leclerc leads

04:37Verstappen on the inside

04:38Sainz on the outside

04:39Verstappen stays ahead

04:41going into Turn 1

04:42Sergio Perez

04:43almost collected by Lewis Hamilton

04:45who was arriving at a rate of knots

04:47but now it's Leclerc towards Turn 4

04:49from Verstappen

04:50then comes Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez

04:52Hamilton, Russell

04:53and then Kevin Magnussen

04:57what's going on with the battery?

04:58battery fine

04:59no it's not

05:00what the is this?

05:02Carlos Sainz pulls out to the inside

05:05and overtakes Max Verstappen

05:07and it's a Ferrari 1-2 here in Bahrain

05:10as Carlos Sainz moves up into 2nd place

05:1546 races since they last won

05:17Ferrari are 1 and 2 here

05:20we can see the issue Max

05:21it's not battery related

05:23what do you want me to do?

05:24there's not a lot we can do

05:26and will Verstappen now be passed by his teammate

05:29Sergio Perez

05:30yes he has been

05:31and he's been passed by Hamilton

05:32and he's been passed by Russell

05:34I can try to make it into the pit lane please

05:37Max Verstappen is out of the race

05:41I'm losing power

05:44Hamilton's got DRS once again

05:46and can he get close enough to Sergio Perez

05:49not on this occasion

05:50you can see the bumps and the porpoising there

05:52that is just unsettling the car

05:54into that first braking zone

05:55and Perez has been spun round

05:57Sergio Perez has lost it

05:59on turn 2

06:01Hamilton looking for damage limitation

06:04has seen the damage to the Red Bull

06:06and he's gonna pick up another podium
