Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have been divided over the events that transpired following their clash
During the race at Turn 14, Leclerc tried to overtake his teammate Sainz, who unfortunately understeered and hit Leclerc’s car. Before this incident, Sainz had a close battle with Fernando Alonso, which allowed Leclerc to seize the opportunity. Leclerc criticized his teammate’s defensive driving as excessive, while Sainz mentioned car damage and worn tires as factors. Despite qualifying sixth, one place ahead of Sainz, Leclerc stated that they had resolved the issue after discussing it. Sainz, however, claimed they hadn’t talked due to the Sprint weekend’s tight schedule and planned to do so later. He argued that the minor contact with Leclerc was blown out of proportion considering the challenges he faced during the race.
