Superb display of the immense talent of Charles Leclerc, yesterday in Bahrein. He secured pole by a confortable margin on his 4-times World Champion team-mate Sebastian Vettel, after having dominated nearly all practice sessions.
Very confortable in the race at a pace nobody could match, where his more experienced team-mate struggled, the 21 old showed his class. He also showed his class in defeat, blaming nobody and keeping his cool, knowing that his time will come.
Ferrari will soon have choices to make.
We can easily imagine a domination of the red cars in two weeks in Shanghai. Having the best car in the field, but the Mercedes duo leading the championship, who will they choose to favor for the championship ?
Hopefully, they will let Leclerc go for the championship, although he is less experienced and could do the odd mistake, and give him the same chances as Vettel. Both should have their chances.
Sunday we saw the German, as he did a few times last year, crack under pressure. And the Italians are already in love with this young kid.
Difficult decision for Mattia Binotto and his team, who cannot afford to make the wrong choice and potentially lose another championship to the mighty AMG-Mercedes team.
Keep up the good work!
