Charles Leclerc will start the Bahrain GP from the second position on the grid. Leclerc expressed his frustration over the team’s strategies during the first qualifying session of the 2024 season. The team has introduced new aerodynamic elements to improve their car’s performance, but their strategies still need improvement. Leclerc disagreed with his engineer’s proposed strategy and reluctantly went out on the track to collect data. However, he was called back into the pits and had to abort his lap, leading to his anger and swearing on the radio. Ferrari, the most successful constructor in F1 history, has faced a championship drought due to strategic failures. Despite having the fastest car in qualifying, the team only won four races in the previous season due to poor strategy calls. This weakness in the strategy department has not been addressed, as seen in the recent qualifying session. Fortunately, Leclerc managed to secure a higher position on the grid with an impressive lap.
