The 26-year-old Dutchman enjoyed a perfect day as he led from pole position.
Reigning Formula One champion Max Verstappen opened his bid for a fourth successive title in dominant style with an unchallenged cruise to a Red Bull one-two victory in Saturday’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
Verstappen’s Saturday evening cruise dashed hopes for a hard-fought start to the season after Red Bull won all but one race last year. But, on Saturday Verstappen, winner of 19 of the 22 races last year, simply picked up where he left off and he has a record 24 to get through this season. Leclerc himself endured a difficult race as he complained of braking issues and locked up several times. Lando Norris was sixth for McLaren ahead of Hamilton.
