Formula One returns to the Sepang International Circuit for the first time in nearly a decade this week for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The race has been moved to the track, which played host to the Malaysian Grand Prix between 1999 and 2017, due to safety concerns relating to the Iran-US conflict.

Sweltering temperatures are expected for a race that will push drivers to their limit – both physically and mentally.

Kimi Antonelli saw his lead chipped away at by Mercedes teammate George Russell last weekend but is still on course to become the youngest world champion in the history of the sport.

Antonelli will be desperate to bounce back this weekend – and UK fans can tune in for extensive coverage to see whether the Italian can do just that.
