Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel didn’t have the best of relationships in their first year as teammates. There were plenty of controversies, some questionable moments on track and a lot of internal friction.

Despite their on track differences, Leclerc and Vettel always had mutual respect for each other. While the media sensationalized their rivalry, Charles and Seb were always quick to clarify that they got along just fine.

Putting all the team orders and Ferrari’s “strategies” to a side, Vettel and Leclerc’s partnership began as one of a master and apprentice but blossomed into an experienced veteran and his young and hungry teammate.

Towards the end of the season, it was clear that Seb had handed over the baton to Leclerc. Ferrari signing the Monegasque on a 5 year-deal only affirmed the fact that Charles is Ferrari’s future.
