Tension is brewing at Ferrari following Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc's scrap in the early stages of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Sainz pulled off an aggressive overtake on Leclerc into Turn 1 in the early stages of the race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.Replays showed Sainz leaving Leclerc not enough space, resulting in minor contact.
“We had a clear strategy at the beginning of the race with both to save tyres to attack later on,” Leclerc said. “Carlos didn't do any saving in Turn 14 and of course had an opportunity to overtake me in Turn 1, which is a bit of a shame because we lost time between us.”"I damaged my front wing because of Carlos making the turn and not seeing I was inside and that made our race more difficult,” he added.
"It's a bit unnecessary, but I also understand that it's his home race and it's also an important moment of his career so I guess he wanted to do something a bit spectacular. But I probably wasn't the right person to do that with."However, Sainz seemed unimpressed with Leclerc’s latest complaints.“It’s too many times that he complains after the race about something,” Sainz told Sky Sports.
