Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari sensation, hints at even more powerful upgrades to come despite already shining in the Bahrain Grand Prix. The young driver secured a front-row starting position, showcasing the potential of the Ferrari updates.
Leclerc’s exceptional performance in Bahrain, where he clinched second place on the grid after a penalty to George Russell, highlights the progress Ferrari has made with their car. Despite sitting out FP1, Leclerc outpaced his teammate Lewis Hamilton by over half a second, proving his prowess on the track.
The Monegasque driver credits his recent success not only to his past victories in Bahrain but also to the breakthrough he discovered with the 2025 Ferrari car in Japan. Leclerc emphasizes the team’s hard work and dedication to improving the car’s setup, leading to better performance in recent races.
Ferrari’s early struggles in the season pushed them to accelerate their updates, with Leclerc acknowledging the immediate impact of the new parts. However, he believes that upcoming tracks will provide a better test of the improvements made by the team.
Despite his strong position on the grid, Leclerc remains cautious about McLaren’s potential dominance in the race, especially in terms of tire management. While he anticipates a tough challenge from McLaren, he is confident in Ferrari’s ability to compete closely with Mercedes and Red Bull.
As Leclerc and Ferrari gear up for the Bahrain Grand Prix, all eyes are on the young driver to see if he can convert his starting position into a podium finish. With the promise of more upgrades in the pipeline, the future looks bright for Ferrari and their talented driver.
