Leclerc remains cool
Envy because of Lewis? “Fred is not my girlfriend”
With Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc will have a seven-time world champion at his side next season. However, the Monegasque is not jealous of having to share team boss Frederic Vasseur with the Brit. "Fred is not my girlfriend. We love and appreciate each other, but there is no jealousy," says Leclerc.
The Ferrari driver already knows his boss from the GP3 series, where he drove for Vasseur's ART team. The relationship between driver and team boss is correspondingly close. "Sometimes we understand each other with just a glance. If I've made a mistake and see that Fred wants to talk to me, I look at him and say: 'Fred, I already know what you want to say. And then he smiles and leaves because he knows I've understood," said Leclerc at a press conference.
"Everything was very transparent"
Hamilton also raced at ART 20 years ago, so he also knows the Frenchman very well. However, Leclerc rules out the possibility of friction between the two team-mates as a result. "I was involved in the negotiations between Lewis and Ferrari right from the start. Everything was very transparent and I was the first to say that a team-mate with such depth would motivate me," Leclerc clarified.
