This was Leclerc pace last year in Bahrain in the first stint with soft tyres compared to Sainz.
I don't think that the difference would have been as big this year because the SF 23 was a --- disaster and if one of the drivers was out of the right setup window (which was difficult to get right as they didn't have a clue of what the car was doing) the pace was nowhere (happened to Leclerc as well in Miami for example).
In any event, Leclerc has always been very competitive in Bahrain, so i'm really disappointed we couldn't see what he would have been capable of doing with the SF 24.
Max was probably too quick to compete for the win, but who knows, maybe putting a bit of pressure would have been possible. Vasseur is absolutely right when he said he wasn't happy at all with the results, despite the improvements made compared to one year ago.
