The 2022 season of Formula 1 has only just begun and the first duel for the lead of a race has already got the fans pumping! In the night of Sakhir (Bahrain), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) engaged in combat for several turns.

Long before the number 1 wearer retired due to a mechanical problem, the two men exchanged leadership of the Bahrain Grand Prix several times, particularly between turns 1 and 4.

Renowned for his driving to the limit of excess in close combat, Max Verstappen found someone to talk to when Charles Leclerc took the lead again during a maneuver outside the line.
