While speaking to the media at the event, the Monegasque driver was asked about the chances of being involved in wheel-to-wheel battles with teammate Carlos Sainz and whether the team would permit it. Leclerc said:
Leclerc was known to get into multiple incidents with former teammate Sebastian Vettel that ended up being detrimental to Ferrari’s cause in years past. New teammate Sainz also weighed in on the topic by saying it was important for both him and Leclerc to have the ‘freedom to go for it’. He too, however, stressed on the team’s objectives being above any individual goals.
Ferrari boss happy to see both drivers showing maturity ahead of 2022 F1 season
Team principal Mattia Binotto is pleased to see both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz be transparent and mature in their discussions with each other right from the onset. The Italian boss said:
A P3 finish in the 2021 season finale helped Sainz narrowly edge out Leclerc in the drivers’ world championship standings. Sainz clinched P5 with 164.6 points, 5.5 points ahead of his teammate who finished in P7.
