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&#39t want to be in the middle, I knew then the mess was coming. I don&#39t want to look for culprits, we made the mess even on the pit lap, things didn&#39t 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.
