Bahrain GP grid: Who starts where and latest F1 team-mate scores

Lewis Hamilton will chase an 11th race win from a 10th pole position of the season in Sunday's Bahrain GP.

Heading the 75th front-row lockout for Mercedes in F1, Hamilton starts ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas with Max Verstappen in his customary third for Red Bull.

Fourth matches Alex Albon best grid slot in F1, while Sergio Perez starts in the top five for the second consecutive race in the Racing Point.

Both AlphaTauris are in the top 10 for the second time in the last three events, while Ferrari find themselves outside the top-10 slots completely for the fourth time in 2020.

The drivers starting outside the top 10, starting with 11th-placed Sebastian Vettel, have a free tyre choice for the first stint. The top 10 start on the tyres they set their best laps on in Q2, when all of them plumped for the medium compound for a race that is expected to necessitate at least two pit stops for each driver.

Sunday's race is live only on Sky Sports F1 and starts at 2.10pm, with extensive build-up from 12.30pm.
