Leclerc has spoken to Sainz

Meanwhile, Leclerc indicated that things are good again between him and his teammate. "As I said, we have a really good relationship with Carlos and sometimes I overstep the lines, and sometimes he did, and then it only requires a discussion between us two. We look ourselves in the eye and we know each other for a very long time now, and we understand each other very, very quickly. So I have no doubts," Leclerc said.

"Sometimes we need these kind of things to reset a little bit and I have no doubt that going into the last two races this season, there won't be any problems whatsoever," the Monegasque added.

Leclerc wants to focus on constructors' title with Ferrari

Leclerc, Sainz and Ferrari are still in battle with McLaren for the constructors' title. That is why the Monegasque does not want to talk too long about the altercation with Sainz in Las Vegas.

"We've always had a really good relationship with Carlos and we've had races where sometimes things don't go exactly the way we want but the most important thing is that we discuss about it and we go forward. And it's very clear for both of us that we just want to win the Constructors [Championship] and it's by working as a team that we'll achieve that. And I'm sure that there won't be any problems with it," the Ferrari driver concluded.
