Formula 1 - 2010 - The Bahrain Grand Prix

Jake Humphrey introduces live coverage of the Bahrain Grand Prix, the first race of 2010. Four months after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix brought down the curtain on the 2009 season, Formula 1 returns to the Middle East. Jenson Button, making his McLaren debut, will be eager to repeat the scorching start he made in 2009, when six wins in the first seven races put him on the way to the drivers' title. However, fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton will want to prove he is the man to beat, having ended the previous season in fine form. Perhaps most intriguing of all is the return of seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher. The German will line up for the Mercedes team in Bahrain at the age of 41 - can he still cut it at the top, three years after leaving the sport?
