Charles Leclerc and teammate Sebastian Vettel were involved in several incidents this season, the most high profile of which came in Brazil when the pair collided. The Monegasque believes that his relationship with Vettel is better than may people think.

The 22-year-old outscored the German in his first full season at Ferrari by 24 points as he finished fourth in the drivers' standings.

"I will scratch his car 'Merry Christmas' on the car! No, seriously - our relationship is better than people think," Leclerc was quoted by Speedweek.com.

"Of course, we both want to win, but we're both grown up. As for the 2020 World Cup, I would love to win the title for Ferrari with him.

"It’s very important to make decisions about your team. And you also need a good dose of luck to be successful. I hardly think about something like that. I concentrate on my job, the rest comes by itself."
