A Grand Prix still promised to Lewis Hamilton ? Without pressure but no less greedy, the Briton, crowned Formula 1 world champion during the previous round, did not ease off to take pole position on Saturday of Bahrain Grand Prix, at 10e in 15 GP of 2020. Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes, in the front row) and the Dutch Red Bulls Max Verstappen and the Thai Alexander Albon (2nd row) will try to thwart the plans of the seven-time world champion this Sunday, November 29. The start of the GP will be given at 3.10 p.m.

If he won the last three races of the year, Hamilton would equal the record of 13 wins in a season of Germans Michael Schumacher (in 2004) and Sebastian Vettel (in 2013). We know that he is always eager to add new lines to his CV, after the record for world titles (7, tied with Michael Schumacher), victories (94), podiums (163) and poles (98).

The leading position, however, is not a guarantee of success on the Sakhir circuit: only three of the last eight editions have been won by the poleman. And for good reason, the layout is conducive to overtaking, especially at the first corner.
French side, Ocon is best placed on the grid with a 7th place, just ahead Gasly. Grosjean he is at the back of the class with his Haas (19th).
