After early starts for the first three rounds of the new Formula 1 season, UK fans will have no need for their alarm clocks for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix – the first night race in 2025.

Those committed enough to rise at the crack of dawn, or before, have been well rewarded by enthralling action on the track in Australia, China and Japan.

It was a win each for McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the first fortnight - to leave last year's winners top of the Constructors' Championship and Norris at the drivers' summit.

2024 world champion Max Verstappen has been hard to shake, however, and his victory at last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix means he is just a point back from the British driver.

Verstappen and Red Bull have shown they can beat McLaren, who will be gunning to hit back in the desert on Sunday.

Lewis Hamilton is still searching for his first podium finish in Ferrari colours, and will hope that expected car upgrades can be the solution.
