Sergio Perez feels he was prevented from challenging for victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix by what Charles Leclerc did at the start of the race.
Max Verstappen was the victor in the first race of the new Formula 1 season, and it was one of the simplest drives of his entire career. He sped off from the start line and never looked back, barely even having to push his car to the limit.
Perez was the only man on the track who had a car underneath him capable of matching the Dutchman's machine. But he was unable to do so, finishing 12 seconds behind his team-mate.
