Bahrain Grand Prix: Ferrari's Charles Leclerc pips teammate Sebastian Vettel to clinch first career pole position

Firstpost  

Ferrari new boy Charles Leclerc secured his first pole position when he set a new track record by topping qualifying session for Bahrain Grand Prix. Manama: Ferrari new boy Charles Leclerc secured his first pole position on Saturday when he set a new track record by topping a dramatic qualifying session for Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. “Tomorrow is the race and it’s where we score points, but it’s a good beginning… It seems like we did a good job so I am extremely happy.” Leclerc became the second youngest pole-sitter in F1 history behind Vettel, who qualified three-tenths behind him. Mercedes were first out for Q3, but it made no difference as, after Hamilton outpaced Bottas, Leclerc equalled the qualifying lap record set by Vettel in 1:27.958 before trimming it on his second rapid run.
