An F1 Grand Prix weekend always brings excitement and drama, and this time at the Turkish Grand Prix things weren’t so different. As Charles Leclerc was zipping around the Istanbul Park, he got into a heated argument with his race engineer.

The Ferrari engineer was looking to make suggestions to Leclerc to extract the maximum performance out of the race. However, instead of appreciating the help, the Monegasque racing driver snapped on the team radio.

Leclerc‘s engineer said, “Brake balance plus one suggestion?,” to which Charles fumingly replied, “Your suggestions are not in line with what I feel.”
