In the practice and qualifying sessions of the Bahrain GP on Friday, the Ferrari drivers had exceptional performances. This brought a lot of hope for the team and their fans. The driver from Monaco finished in 2nd place in qualifying, behind another driver, but was the fastest of the day as he set the best time in Q2.
The team leader expressed great satisfaction with the team’s results in qualifying. Although the race is still to come, the team leader remains optimistic about the race day outcome. He suggested that although Red Bull has an advantage, Ferrari still has a chance to secure a victory.
All Ferrari fans are now eager to see if Charles Leclerc can overcome his bad luck from last year and win the Bahrain race this year. There is also the possibility of his Spanish teammate being the winner. Overall, it promises to be a joyful weekend for loyal fans who experienced a roller coaster of emotions last season.
In the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc will start from the front row. He finished just two tenths of a second behind Max Verstappen in qualifying. However, the driver from Monaco was a little disappointed as he believed he had the speed to secure pole position, but couldn’t achieve it.
If Leclerc had matched Verstappen’s time in Q3, he could have clinched the first pole position of the year, as his lap time in Q2 was faster than Verstappen’s time in Q3. Despite his efforts, he didn’t reach that goal.
Leclerc mentioned that they lost pace during Q3 due to using used tires, which left him a little disappointed. However, the Monegasque driver still has a chance to redeem himself and win the Bahrain Grand Prix.
