Charles Leclerc’s post qualifying radio in Bahrain shows he is ready to win it with Ferrari, as he is focussed on the job at hand
Charles Leclerc secured his first ever pole position in Formula 1 today, when at the Bahrain GP qualifying, the Ferrari man ensured that Ferrari’s advantage translated into a pole for the Italian team.
The weekend has been a strong one for Ferrari all through, as they managed to win all sessions. But most importantly the Ferrari duo showed up when it mattered and locked up that front row for the team.
Charles Leclerc was obviously thrilled with the pole position, as only in the second grand prix this season, he showed the grid that he had it in him to perform during the crunch situations.

Coming into the 2019 F1 season, the biggest debate was around if Ferrari were brave enough to let their two drivers fight i tout amongst each other. Mercedes weren’t shy of putting the brakes on Bottas last season, asking him to make way for Hamilton towards the end of the season, a move that wasn’t taken well to by the Ferrari management.
Ferrari made it clear that Vettel could be given the preference, if he was fast enough. But Lelerc has now gone onto prove himself and it will be interesting to see how they go about managing their two drivers.
Can Charles Leclerc go onto win the race in Bahrain on Sunday?
