Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc will be determined to win the
Bahrain Grand Prix for the first time on March 28.
The Monegasque star is now Ferrari's leading driver following Sebastian Vettel's departure having joined Aston Martin.
Leclerc has a new teammate at Ferrari for the 2021 season with Carlos Sainz Jr having joined the team as a replacement for Vettel.
The 23-year-old Leclerc finished 10th in last year's Bahrain Grand Prix and he will be hoping to win the race this weekend.

Leclerc became the second-youngest driver to qualify on pole position in Formula One at the 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 2019 season also saw Leclerc take his first career win in Belgium, followed by winning his first Italian Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver the week after.
Leclerc won the Pole Trophy in the 2019 season becoming the youngest driver ever and the first non-Mercedes driver to win it since the trophy's inception in 2014.
The Monte Carlo-born driver finished eighth on last year's Drivers' Championship standings and he will be keen to challenge for this season's title.

Leclerc says he is looking forward to working with his new teammate Sainz Jr and he stated that they are both motivated.
“We are about the same age, we have the same interests,” Leclerc said.
“It promises to be a lot of fun. We get on really well and we can’t wait to be able to fight on the track, without doing too much stupid things together.
“It’s going very, very well with Carlos. I don’t think I’ve spent as much time with him as with any other team-mate. We are very motivated.”
