It was the race where Charles Leclerc controlled the race from the start of the Grand Prix to the end, on pole for Sunday's race, took the lead at the start of the race and never looked back; lead most of the laps and despite Max Verstappen to take the lead a few times, it was Leclerc day, even the fastest lap as-well to win this seasons Bahrain Grand Prix for Charles Leclerc first race win of the season.
