Charles Leclerc could be a history-maker at the Bahrain Grand Prix after becoming Ferrari's youngest pole-sitter in Sakhir. With the Scuderia looking to avenge Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes' dominance in Australia, the red cars have been the ones to beat all weekend.

Leclerc leads a Ferrari one-two off the grid, with the Silver Arrows tucked in behind, but the Prancing Horse has returned to its pre-season billing in the desert so far.

Can Vettel get the better of his team-mate, or will Leclerc's star launch?
