F1 Bahrain GP: the inevitable Verstappen first winner of the season, small disappointment for Leclerc. The season promises to be long and tedious for 19 of the 20 drivers entered in the 2024 Formula 1 world championship.

With a 22-second lead over his first pursuer, the Red Bull driver also set the fastest lap, with a time of 1'32''608 (lap 39). Behind him, the Ferrari team driver finished in 4th place, behind Pérez (2nd) and Sainz (3rd) but ahead of Russell.
