Charles Leclerc imitates Sebastian Vettel

George Russell, Alex Albon, Leclerc, and Norris often play together on Twitch. The gang regularly competes in friendly races and has taken to reverse grids as of late. While competing in a friendly race in Baku, Charles got a little too friendly. The Monegasque charged up to Russell, got alongside him and the pair ended up banging wheels. The move was reminiscent of Sebastian Vettel’s angry reaction to Lewis Hamilton allegedly brake testing the German from Baku 2017.

For the unaware, Sebastian Vettel was involved in a bizarre incident during a safety car period at the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Hamilton was leading the pack with Vettel in second place during the final moments of the safety car. Hamilton appeared to be slowing down and caused Vettel to run into the back of the Mercedes. The move enraged the German, who swerved alongside Hamilton and the duo ended up banging wheels.
