Lewis Hamilton led the praise for Charles Leclerc on Sunday and warned his Mercedes team they face an uphill struggle to stay ahead of Ferrari despite a one-two finish in the Bahrain Grand Prix. Hamilton triumphed after Ferrari's impressive Monegasque new boy was deprived of a maiden victory by power failure after leading with 10 laps remaining. The five-time world champion said Ferrari had out-paced his Mercedes team, adding that Leclerc did a great individual job. "This weekend, the Ferrari has been incredible and Charles did such a great job. Team-mate and championship leader, by one point, Valtteri Bottas conceded: "As a team, we got lucky today, but we kept it together."
