Sebastian Vettel was frustrated with his teammate after Leclerc tried a move on the German during the Bahrain Grand Prix. The race resumed following a horrifying accident involving Romain Grosjean. The Haas driver got away with minor injuries as his car burst into a fireball.
Vettel was not impressed by Leclerc as the Monegasque tried to side-swipe him through the corner and pushed him from the inside with Carlos Sainz on his other side.
He yelled, “Again! He can’t just do that, as if I wasn’t there. It’s the same as Austria, seriously. This time… should have crashed, maybe that was the better option!”
