Red Bull look very strong, says Ferrari’s Leclerc
The HinduFerrari’s Charles Leclerc topped the morning timesheets on the final day of Formula One’s pre-season test in Bahrain on Saturday but said Red Bull remained the team to beat. “I feel we’ve got some work to do,” Leclerc told reporters after handing over to teammate Carlos Sainz for the final session. “Red Bull seems to be very strong in these three days.” Leclerc was runner-up last year to Red Bull’s double world champion Max Verstappen, and the pair will be renewing their rivalry when the season starts in Bahrain next week. “We are still working quite a bit on trying to find the sweet spot of the car in terms of setup so I hope there’s some margin on that still, that we haven’t found the sweet spot yet.” Verstappen, who was quickest in both sessions on Thursday and second on Friday evening, told reporters he was happy with his car even if it remained a work in progress.
