Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc had a fantastic battle during the Bahrain Grand Prix. While the Monegasque managed to keep the reigning world champion behind during the start, the duel started after the tyre change.

Leclerc had an excellent start and made sure he stayed in first place. There then appeared to be little going on for Leclerc, but after the pit stops of both drivers that changed. Verstappen went in a lap earlier, which meant he came in behind his competitor with warmer tyres.
