Motor racing: Ferrari's Leclerc storms to first F1 pole in Bahrain

MANAMA: Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took his first Formula One pole position with a stunning display under the floodlights in qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday.

"Today is a good beginning, I'll try and finish the job tomorrow," added the youngster, who was fastest in two of the three practice sessions before qualifying and can take his first F1 win on Sunday. The pole was the team's first since September’s Italian Grand Prix, when they also swept the front row but lost to Hamilton in the race.

Grosjean was later handed a three place drop for impeding McLaren's British rookie Lando Norris in the first phase, lifting Kimi Raikkonen to eighth for Alfa Romeo and Norris to ninth.
