[Saba Sports News] At the recent F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was displeased with teammate Carlos Sainz for ignoring team orders and overtaking him during the race, leading to an outburst during the cooldown lap. Yesterday, during the sprint qualifying for the F1 Qatar Grand Prix, Leclerc had another verbal clash with his race engineer. At that moment, Leclerc found himself caught in traffic and spoke in a very agitated tone over the radio, saying, “This is a nightmare, I don’t know what to do, quickly tell me more about the cars behind.” His race engineer, Brian Bozi, informed him that Oscar Piastri was about 7 seconds behind him on the track. However, Leclerc interrupted, saying, “Don’t say that nonsense, please tell me which cars are fast.” Bozi helplessly replied, “There are many cars; right now, Piastri is 5 seconds behind…” Leclerc cut off the conversation before Bozi could finish. After the race, Leclerc expressed disappointment with his performance.
