In the practice and qualifying sessions at the Bahrain GP on Friday, the drivers for Ferrari delivered exceptional performances. This has brought a lot of hope to the team and their fans. The driver from Monaco finished 2nd in qualifying, behind another driver, but was the fastest on 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 outcome on race day. He suggested that while Red Bull has an advantage, Ferrari might still have a chance to secure a victory.
All the Ferrari supporters are now eagerly awaiting to see if Charles Leclerc can overcome his misfortune from last year and win the Bahrain race this year. There is also a possibility that his teammate from Spain could be the one to take home the win. Overall, it promises to be a joyful weekend for the loyal fans who experienced a rollercoaster 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 felt a bit disappointed as he believed he had the speed to secure pole position but couldn’t quite achieve it.
If Leclerc had matched Verstappen’s time in Q3, he could have taken the first pole position of the year, as his lap time in Q2 was faster than Verstappen’s Q3 time. Despite his efforts, he fell short of this goal.
Leclerc mentioned that they lost rhythm during Q3 due to driving on used tires, which left him somewhat disappointed. However, the Monegasque driver still has a chance to redeem himself and win the Bahrain Grand Prix.
