F1 Bahrain GP Driver Ratings - Leclerc is a title contender

#2 Ferrari

F1 Grand Prix of Bahrain

Charles Leclerc - 3rd

What a bizarre and eventful weekend for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who deservedly should have won the Bahrain Grand Prix in his second ever race with the infamous Italian team.

Leclerc achieved his first pole position in Formula One and was on course to bag his first race win in F1 until his engine started to pack-up.

This resulted in Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas overtaking the Monegasque in what was a heartbreaking race for the 21-year-old.

But overall he did secure an additional point for fastest lap and was voted Driver of the Day because he really was.

Driver rating - 9/10

Sebastian Vettel - 5th

Now if Sebastian Vettel had not spun when trying to overtake Hamilton then we may be writing this as the German winning the Grand Prix for Ferrari.

But instead, Vettel messed up his race and ended up in 5th where the silver arrows achieved maximum points at one and two.

The pressure must start to be building on Vettel's shoulders.

Driver rating - 5/10
