Read our privacy policy Charles Leclerc showed his exasperation with Ferrari at “compromising” his final runs in qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix. Leclerc referenced an earlier team error in Q1, when his Ferrari team unnecessarily sent him out on a new set of soft tyres, meaning he only had one set for his final two runs of Q3. Charles Leclerc said Ferrari ‘compromised’ his qualifying “I think we lost a little bit of rhythm with the used set in Q3, then you have to re-adapt to the tyres, but overall a solid qualifying. We really think Red Bull is still ahead by quite a bit in the race.” Verstappen secured the 33rd pole of his career, with Mercedes’ George Russell completing the top-three.
