OK this Sunday, March 31 is the Bahrain Grand Prix

Race: 11:05 am EDT on ESPN2
Pre-race show: 10:30 am EDT on ESPN2

Tire compounds for Bahrain: C1, C2, and C3
There are five compounds this year:
C1 - Hard
C2 - Medium
C3 - Soft
C4 - Supersoft
C5 - Ultrasoft
However, whichever three compounds Pirelli brings to a race, they will be referred to as Hard, Medium, and Soft, and they will only use three sidewall colors. So the only way to know the true compound is when they declare the compounds C1 to C5 prior to the race.

Recent winners:
2018 - Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)
2017 - Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)
2016 - Nico Rosberg (Mercedes)
2015 - Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
2014 - Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)

It's good to see some new F1 fans around here. For those not familiar with the Bahrain track, here is a virtual lap of the circuit. Note that they've added a 3rd DRS zone between turns 3 & 4. And here is a track map:
