Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo will be hoping to clinch his maiden win of the season at the
Sakhir Grand Prix.
The Australian star is leading the race to finish fourth on the 2020 Drivers' Championship standings.
Ricciardo finished seventh at the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend which took him to fourth on the Drivers' Championship table.

The Bahrain Grand Prix was won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, who secured his 11th win of the current campaign.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull secured a second-place finish, while his teammate Alexander Albon finished third.
Hamilton is placed at the top of this year's Drivers' Championship standings and he has clinched a record-breaking seventh Formula One world title.
The British superstar is followed by Bottas and Verstappen respectively with the duo battling for the runner-up spot with two races left.
Ricciardo is placed fourth on the standings, but he is only two points above fifth-placed Sergio Perez of Racing Point and four points above sixth-placed Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

Haas driver Romain Grosjean survived a dramatic crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix when his car separated into two and caught fire after hitting a metal guardrail on the first lap.
Speaking after the race, Ricciardo was quick to shut down talk of his seventh-place finish, choosing to focus on Formula One itself.
“I want to express my disgust and disappointment with Formula 1,” Ricciardo said.
“The way the incident of Grosjean was broadcast over and over — the replays over and over — it was completely disrespectful and inconsiderate for his family [and] for all of our families watching."
Mercedes, who have been crowned 2020 Formula One world constructors champions, are placed at the top of the standings with an unassailable lead of 533 points.
They are followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed McLaren, who have accumulated 274 points and 171 points with two races left.
