In the closing stages of the sprint race at the Shanghai International Circuit, the Ferrari drivers went into battle with each other, hitting each other and Leclerc briefly going off track. The Monegasque immediately expressed his dissatisfaction via board radio, stating that Sainz "fought him harder than the other drivers". He also said after the sprint race that his teammate had gone too far.

The five-time race winner does not want to say more about it. "I'm not going into details, but as I said, sometimes I went over the limit, sometimes he went over the limit and it's part of the game. And now we've had a discussion and it's fine," Leclerc said.
