F1 race highlights

Formula 1 returns for a fresh season with plenty of live TV coverage as well as extensive highlights and recaps throughout the season.

Steve Jones is joined by David Coulthard, Jamie Chadwick and Ariana Bravo for the first Qualifying session of the year and all the big news from the off season. Qualifying will offer the first glimpse as to who has the fastest car on the grid. Max Verstappen will be favourite for pole position after taking his third world title in a record-breaking season. But optimism will also be high for the 19 other drivers as the points are reset to zero. Last year, Red Bull had the perfect start with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez finishing first and second, with Fernando Alonso joining them on the podium.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen put in a crushing performance to set pole position for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. The world champion was 0. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was only ninth, 0. Verstappen's ultimate margin was smaller than many in F1 expected it would be before the weekend - some had predicted the three-time champion would be 0. However, his superiority was underlined by the fact that only Leclerc managed to beat on new tyres the time Verstappen had set on used tyres in his first run in final qualifying, and even then by only 0. Given the Red Bull's traditional performance pattern, which sees their advantage extend in races in relation to qualifying, he looks a shoe-in for a first victory of the season to continue a run of consecutive race wins that goes back to Japan in late September last year. And his performance bodes ill for a competitive season at the front of the field, after Verstappen and Red Bull combined to produce the most dominant season in F1 history in It was a little bit unexpected but luckily in qualifying the car came to us and I felt a little bit happier with the whole car.
