Lewis Hamilton sealed the drivers’ title last weekend in Turkey, confirming a record-equalling seventh crown to match Michael Schumacher’s achievement.
With his Mercedes team having already nabbed the constructors title, the focus now turns to the indicators for next season.
The first of two desert races at Sakhir, much of the interest in Sunday’s race will be on which team can finish in the standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull, with fans of the improving Ferrari hoping they can claw their way back from their current lowly position of sixth in the table.
After a strong showing last week, Ferrari will be hoping outgoing driver Sebastian Vettel can add to his incredible record on this track, with the German having won the night race four times, his last victory coming in 2018.
Regularly serving up wheel-to-wheel battles in the past, its an F1 race no motor racing fan will want to miss – read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix with our guide below.
