Johnny has backed Lewis Hamilton to pip Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg to the finish line in Sakhir and record a third consecutive Bahrain Grand Prix win this weekend.
Having successfully tipped the German to win the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Johnny believes Hamilton, the 2015 champion, will top the podium on Sunday.
Johnny said: "This weekend I expect (Hamilton) to put that right and take what would be a third consecutive Bahrain GP win.
“He's still the man to catch, even if his poor start last time out allowed his teammate to take the spoils."
Johnny has joined up with the rest of the Sky Sports F1 team in Melbourne as the start of the new season gets ever nearer.
The Australian Grand Prix will be the first race on the 21-nation calendar, as 11 teams prepare to battle it out on tracks all across the world in a bid to clinch the biggest motorsport prize of all.
