F1 2019: 5 Early Predictions for the Bahrain Grand Prix

#3 Leclerc and Gasly Duel in the Desert

Both drivers who have dueled each other since their karting days

If you've caught Netflix's F1 documentary "Drive to Survive" then you'll know that one episode focuses on the intertwined careers of Red Bull's Pierre Gasly, and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

Both drivers who have dueled each other since their karting days, and even last year when they were in Toro Rosso and Alfa Romeo Sauber respectively.

With both of them now in top tier teams, it seems destined that they have some more battles as the years go on.

Why Bahrain? Well, both of these drivers have a history with the circuit. Most recently, last year, Pierre Gasly willed his Toro Rosso to an unbelievable P4, just out of the podium position.

Meanwhile a few years back, in the 2017 Formula 2 season, Charles Leclerc had what might have been the best race of his career and took an incredible comeback F2 win at Sakhir.

The two have taken each other on in F1 before, notably in Singapore last year, and now with it all on the line, they have the chance to prove which youngster has a better grip in the sandy conditions in Bahrain.
