Ferrari looked good all of pre-season so it was no surprise to see them near the top of the timesheets all weekend at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Nera the fron isn’t good enough when you are a racing driver and, in an attempt, to get everything out of his No 16 Charles Leclerc erred in his estimation of how much gip he had, sending him on a whirlwind trip to the gravel trap.

Despite some felling of sheepishness for his FP3 indiscretion it seemed to be just the bit of information the Monegasque needed to fine tune his preparation for qualifying.

Max Verstappen dominated Qualifying up until the final runs in Q3 when Leclerc put his new found knowledge to good use and powered his Prancing Horse to the first pole position of the new era in Formula 1.

I think a lesson we can all learn from the sequence of event at the Bahrain International Circuit is that no matter how badly you mess up, use it as a learning experience to improve.
