The Monegasque driver needs to be proactive in his decision-making rather than relying on last-minute alterations. Carlos Sainz, Fred Vasseur, and Charles Leclerc (Via IMAGO) The Bahrain Grand Prix did not go as planned for the Monegasque. Starting in second place on the grid, he had a prime opportunity to secure pole position. However, his car encountered numerous issues throughout the race. Leclerc’s car consistently locked up in every corner, significantly impacting his pace. This allowed other drivers to overtake him, leaving the Monegasque driver struggling to keep up. His dissatisfaction was evident in his radio conversation. In contrast, his teammate not only managed to overtake but also secured a spot on the podium. Last year, the Spaniard was the only Red Bull driver to achieve a pole position. He even engaged in a fierce on-track battle with his teammate. Considering this situation, the F1 analyst believes that Sainz may be more astute when it comes to making pre-race decisions. Speaking to the media, she added, According to the F1 analyst, Charles Leclerc needs to reassess his pre-race planning. Perhaps, like his teammate, he should consider thinking ahead. While Bahrain was just one race, the Monegasque driver still has 23 more races to prove himself and dispel any doubts. Charles Leclerc was unable to complete a single lap in the Bahrain Grand Prix due to brake issues. Despite qualifying in second place, Leclerc’s hopes for a successful start to the 2024 season were dashed as he fell behind his teammate Carlos Sainz and others. Throughout the first ten laps, Leclerc struggled with lock-ups and wide runs, ultimately discovering a brake-related problem that hindered his performance. Despite adjusting the brake balance to the rear, he was unable to navigate Turns 9 and 10. Additionally, he experienced locking issues on every lap, necessitating significant changes. Undoubtedly, this was not the race the Monegasque had envisioned. It was a frustrating experience for him, as he had eagerly anticipated this race for quite some time. He had hoped for better results this weekend, but despite his best efforts, he fell short. He now intends to address all the issues before the next race.
