Four drivers on the grid have yet to score points in their F1 careers: Rookies Charles Leclerc (Sauber) and Sergey Sirotkin(Williams) and the Toro Rosso pair of Brendon Hartley and Pierre Gasly.

Sauber's Marcus Ericsson last scored a point in 2015.

BAHRAIN

Vettel and McLaren's Fernando Alonso have won three times in Bahrain, Hamilton twice.

This year's race is the 14th edition. The grand prix was first held in 2004 and not run in 2011 due to civil unrest. It switched to a floodlit event in 2014.

The driver on pole in Bahrain has been the winner in five of the 13 races to date. It has never been won by anyone starting below the front two rows.

Eleven out of 13 winners have been from the team that ended up winning the constructors' title that season. The exceptions were Alonso for Ferrari in 2010 and Vettel in 2017.

MILESTONE

In winning in Australia, Vettel became only the third driver to lead 3,000 laps in his career. The others are Schumacher and Hamilton. He also took his 100th podium.

Vettel is set to make his 200th start (from 201 races). (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Amlan Chakraborty)
