Ferrari’s Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have found themselves at odds following their clash in the Chinese Grand Prix Sprint race. Leclerc attempted to overtake Sainz in the closing stages of the race, but Sainz’s car veered into Leclerc’s, causing a collision. Prior to this, Sainz had been engaged in a heated battle with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, resulting in contact that allowed Leclerc to make his move. Leclerc criticized his teammate’s defensive driving as being “beyond acceptable limits,” while Sainz explained that he was dealing with car damage and worn-out tires, which affected his ability to brake. Despite qualifying one place ahead of Sainz for the upcoming race, Leclerc assured that the issue had been resolved after having a conversation with Sainz. However, Sainz disputed this claim, attributing the lack of communication to the tight schedule of a Sprint weekend. He expressed his intention to discuss the matter with Leclerc later. Sainz maintained that the incident was not as significant as it had been made out to be, emphasizing that he always strives to give his teammate enough space on the track. He attributed the collision to the damage sustained from his earlier encounter with Alonso, which compromised the performance of his car and left him with little room for maneuvering.
