U18 Bahrain: Leclerc wins prefinal 1

Starting in confusing positions disturbed the front of the first prefinal at the U18 World Championship in Bahrain and Henry Easthope (Sodi) had to take avoiding action to the outside of the first corner and dropped to 29th. Matthew Graham (Zanardi) dropped from 1st to 7th place, Anthoine Hubert (Formula K) from 3rd to the 6th. The Australian Joseph Mawson (Top Kart) took the lead from 4 ART GP drivers, Sam Webster, Charles Leclerc, Ben Barnicoat and Ricky Collard.

On lap 5, several attacks in the lead group occurred almost simultaneously and Leclerc found himself ahead of Barnicoat and Mawson, followed by Collard, Webster, Hubert Graham and Savona. Barnicoat closed on his teammate and rival, however, Graham and Hubert passed Savona, then Collard took Mawson for third position. The top 6 drivers gathered again for the finish, while Hubert was distanced in 7th position. Leclerc assured his victory with a slight lead of 357 milliseconds ahead of Barnicoat, Collard was 3rd, Mawson 4th, Graham 5th and Savona 6th, the fastest driver in the race.

The French driver Antoine Rocard (Sodi) was 11th, Hubert Petit (Sodi) 13th and Easthope couldn’t finish better than 21st. Affolter and Parsons gave up at the start.
