Without a doubt, McLaren driver Lando Norris is a highly talented driver and in Bahrain he proved it. The British youngster was embroiled in a titanic battle in the midfield when he pulled off an amazing move.
While chasing down the Red Bull of Pierre Gasly, he apparently missed his braking point. However, Lando Norris compensated for that by avoiding spearing into the back of the Red Bull and danced around the outside of the Frenchman.

However, the two collided and Sainz came off worse and was eventually forced to retire. Verstappen in the meantime ended the race 4th but breathing down the neck of an ailing Charles LeClerc.
