VIDEO – The battle between the Ferraris of Sainz and Leclerc during the race

After attacking Fernando Alonso and getting third place at the end of the race, Carlos Sainz could not control himself and found himself being hunted by attacks from his teammate, as well as being passed by Checo Pérez. When we were competing for the 17th lap of the sprint, the Monegasque decided to climb the first flag to grab fourth place from his colleague.

As usual between the two men, the one attacked by his teammate decided not to give up, and Leclerc’s attempt to pass him on the outside at the hairpin was no match for Carlos Sainz, who was fighting to stay in front. by giving the Monegasque a little wheel kick, the result is a little slip from the rear.

The act that angered Leclerc: “fxxx what?” he asked on the radio. The Monegasque did not give up and returned to the field thirty seconds later, entered the first corner snail and took advantage of a better trap than his teammate in the past. A battle that immediately recalled that of Monza last year. But this time, it was Charles Leclerc who finished with a smile. See you at 9 am this Saturday for the Grand Prix qualifying, to be followed live by the commentary on AUTOhebdo.fr.

No sympathy between his teammates? 🥶
