Over the years, Formula 1 has gained quite a reputation for portraying some intense teammate battles, with some turning ugly and causing a much bigger ruckus to the team itself. However, it looks like Ferrari drivers, Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, are quite aware of what a teammate battle could bring to the table.

The duo is expecting a misunderstanding to bloom up at some point in the future. But neither driver is keen on escalating the potential fallout. Instead, Sainz and Leclerc are hoping that they will be able to clear the air out with some mature talks.

What did the Ferrari driver, Leclerc say?

The Monegasque is quite confident that he will not be facing any off-track problems with his new teammate, Sainz. And if any such issues do rise up, Leclerc revealed that he will talk it out with the Spaniard, during an interview with Gazzetta.

“It can always happen, but I have a habit of distinguishing between racing episodes and what happens outside,” he said. (Translated via Google Translate)
