Ferrari, high tension after Charles Leclerc’s swearing: Carlos Sainz’s retort
Total clash in Ferrari after the Las Vegas race. Charles Leclerc’s end-of-race team radio against teammate Carlos Sainz è sensational and viral: "I did my job. But to tell it like it is, I fo…and every time, ca…o. Always, ca…o. It’s not è about being nice, è just being respectful, I know I have to shut up but at some point è always the same so, fan…o".
In the crosshairs some decisions of Sainz, who did not respect a team order and è ended up in front of Leclerc after the pit stop finishing in third place.
"Leclerc è very angry with me? I agreed with him not to say anything in front of the media, otherwise we mess up – Sainz’s post-race words – We will talk to him about what è happened. These are things between him and me, I never open the radio, I don’t talk to the media, I don’t like it, it’s not è a good thing to do. It è not necessary".
"I wanted to pit 2 laps earlier, I knew Charles was coming, I wanted to let him pass, there was Hamilton and I didn't want to be in the middle, I knew then the mess was coming. I don't want to look for culprits, we made the mess even on the pit lap, things didn't go well for me nor for Charles. It was not an easy situation to handle, I don’t want to talk about that in front of the microphones", he told Sky.
The argument in Ferrari comes at a crucial time of the season, with the Maranello team just 24 points behind McLaren in the constructors’ standings with two races to go.
