The Formula 1 world was abuzz with excitement after McLaren’s Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr. celebrated their first double podium finish in over a decade. However, the joy was short-lived as Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc had a frosty response to the team’s jubilation.
Leclerc, who finished fourth, was asked about the McLaren duo’s celebration and he replied with a curt “I don’t care”. His response was met with a mixture of shock and amusement from the media, with some suggesting that the young Ferrari driver was feeling a little jealous of the success of his rivals.
Leclerc’s teammate, Sebastian Vettel, was more understanding of the situation, saying that it was “nice to see the team doing well”. However, it was clear that Leclerc was not in the mood to celebrate with his rivals.
The incident highlights the intense rivalry between Ferrari and McLaren, and the pressure that Leclerc is under to perform for the Italian team. While it may have been a cold response from the young driver, it is clear that he is determined to make Ferrari a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
