Ferrari have one of the most exciting and consistent driver pairings in Leclerc and Sainz but the duo are set to split after Hamilton joins the team next season, taking over from Sainz.
Leclerc, who dreams of winning a drivers’ championship with Ferrari one day, has scored 177 points this season, whereas, Sainz has 162 points in the bag. Lewis Hamilton is set to arrive at Ferrari
Ahead of the final 10 races as team-mates, Leclerc reflected on friction and relationship with Sainz.
He told Belgian radio station RTBF: “It’s normal that sometimes there is friction.
“Carlos and I don’t always agree on what happens on the track and managing adrenaline is not easy, but the important thing is to be able to discuss it when the race is over.
“Over the radio it seems like there is always tension, but it’s not like that
Ferrari are in a difficult spot at the moment after conceding second place in the constructors’ title race to McLaren. Upgrades not working in Ferrari’s favour have been the major reason for their stagnancy but Leclerc pressed that they keep on working to achieve the desired target.
He added: “We know we are in a difficult situation, but we will do everything to get back to the front.
“We are working well with the team and the relationship with Vasseur is really good, you don’t need too many words to understand each other.
“The target is clear for everyone and we want to show what we can do.”
