Charles Leclerc has a new teammate starting this season in the form of Carlos Sainz. Although the battle on the track hasn't started yet, the duo have already started playing mind games in a video from Ferrari.
It will be an exciting year at Ferrari. The team has dropped a lot in the rankings since last year and there was more than once contact between the drivers on track. Charles Leclerc has a new teammate this year in Carlos Sainz but the Spaniard will do everything to prove himself at the Tifosi and will not just settle for the role of second driver.
Challenge between the Ferrari drivers
That the former McLaren driver is in for a challenge is shown in a new video from Ferrari. In this video the two drivers each present three statements to the other, where one wrong statement has to be picked out. Sainz wants to make it exciting by proposing an internal championship, with a wet suit for the loser in Abu Dhabi.
The two Ferrari drivers therefore already have something to fight for and it doesn't take long before the mind games begin. Leclerc in particular is said to be good at rousing his opponent with seemingly innocent counter questions. And that has an effect on the Spaniard. "I'm so good at upsetting you," Leclerc gloats. Whether the Monegasque can do the same on the track will become clear from next week.
