For 10 more Grands Prix in the current Formula 1 season, fans can enjoy the dynamic between Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. The fact that the two drivers get along well is evident in a new video from Ferrari. In it, Sainz takes on the challenge of driving a lap of Circuit Zandvoort with one hand. Leclerc ties his other hand with duct tape and coaches his teammate during the challenging lap in the simulator.
