(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) Despondent Charles Leclerc conceded that Ferrari is far from Red Bull's capabilities after Max Verstappen's successful Bahrain Grand Prix. The Dutchman and his team mate secured the front row of the grid, and ultimately, finished in first and second place, with Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin in a remarkable third. Despite being in a promising position to take the last spot on the podium, Leclerc's car suddenly lost power and he was forced to abandon the race.
"No, no, no, no. Come on. What happened guys? No power," the Monegasque driver exclaimed over the team radio. In the post-race interview, he admitted his lack of understanding of the situation, saying "I have no idea what happened. All I know is I had a loss of power - that's the only thing I felt and that was it. I don't know if it is related to the issues we had this morning."

The 25-year-old, who won the season opener in Bahrain last year, is now likely to face a tough challenge in the championship as Verstappen looks to become the third consecutive champion. The next race is the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in two weeks.
