LAS VEGAS — As Charles Leclerc made his rounds inside the post-race media pen, the video screens behind him showed Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz riding in a Rolls Royce en route to the podium interviews.

Leclerc came close to overtaking George Russell for the lead but then dropped back to fourth after an issue with his car. He then fought with Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and though he overtook the Dutchman, he could not catch Sainz and finished where he started.

A frustrated Charles Leclerc launched into an uncharacteristic rant over the radio after he finished behind Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The 27-year-old started the race behind Sainz but after a strong start, he was eyeing up race leader George Russell, who would eventually go on to secure victory.

The anger of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz in Las Vegas will not become a problem, the Ferrari boss insists. Leclerc was left raging “being nice f**** me over” via team radio as he finished P4, one place behind teammate Sainz, at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Mercedes’ George Russell, who earned the pole in Vegas and already has one win under his belt this season, is third on the betting board at +300. Meanwhile, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly will start third on the grid — this after a weather-aided P3 finish in the previous race in Sao Paulo — and checks in at +10000.
