Ferrari’s bad days seem to be a thing in the past now with the brilliant performance that the Italian racing team has been putting forth on the tracks from the two testing sessions at Barcelona and Bahrain to the 3 practice races in the form of FP1, FP2 and FP3 and finally today at qualifying.

The Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz made it incredibly clear at the Bahrain International Circuit today that they mean business with their F1-75. The F1-75 has shown immense reliability already on the tracks this season as compared to the other cars on the grid. Not only has it shown impressive pace but seems to be dealing with the common issue of porpoising a whole lot better than the other teams on the grid including the likes of Mercedes.

Monégasque racing driver Charles Leclerc displayed his magnificent driving prowess on the tracks today paired with the pace of the F1-75 and was able to bring a pole position to the Italian racing team. What makes it even more exciting for Ferrari fans is the fact that Leclerc’s teammate Carlos Sainz isn’t too far on the rankings with him securing a solid P3 behind his teammate and recently crowned world champion Max Verstappen.

Charles Leclerc seemed to be in absolutely high spirits after the qualifying race with him visibly saying to the reporters, “It feels good! The last two years have been incredibly difficult for the team. I think we have worked extremely well as a team, very happy with today. I wasn’t completely happy with my driving but managed to do that lap in Q3 and we start from pole, so very happy.”

The driver who is going to start from right at the front of the grid tomorrow also highlighted the tension between their F1-75 and Red Bull’s RB-18 as the people at Ferrari were extremely sure of the fact that Red Bull were more quicker than them. He also highlighted the unforeseeable circumstances during the main races since anything can happen tomorrow when all the drivers assemble together for the main race. He mentioned that he is going to stay cautious but deemed the fact that they were quicker than Red Bull as a “pleasant surprise”.

Tomorrow, Charles Leclerc starts right at the front of the grid, with defending world champion Max Verstappen right behind him followed by Spaniard teammate Carlos Sainz.
