Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were involved in a hilarious interaction recently. Sainz began the conversation by explaining how he was better than Leclerc at every sport.
However, little did he know that the Monegasque had a brilliant answer in store. Ferrari fans would be delighted to know that the spirits are still high between the two teammates even though recent results have not gone their way.
Leclerc only managed a seventh-place finish in Saudi Arabia, having suffered from a DNF in the opening race in Bahrain. On the other hand, Sainz finished fourth in Bahrain, followed by sixth in Saudi Arabia.
‘Say any sport I am better’: Carlos Sainz to Charles Leclerc
In a recent viral video on social media, Carlos Sainz attempted to draw Charles Leclerc‘s face. While he was carefully making his sketch, an F1 presenter asked Sainz if there was any other sport the Spaniard beat the Monegasque at other than golf and chess.
In reply, Sainz says, “Golf, chess, tennis. Say any sport I am better”. On hearing Sainz’s response, Leclerc immediately says, “Not racing”. The Spaniard seemed to have no answer to Leclerc’s response as he got back to drawing the Monegasque’s face.

Leclerc and Sainz’s 2023 season gets off to a disappointing start
After finishing second in the Drivers’ Championship last year, Charles Leclerc is currently in eighth this season. The Monegasque has just scored six points after the first two races and is a whopping 38 points behind championship leader Max Verstappen.
On the other hand, Carlos Sainz has scored 20 points so far. While the Spaniard has fared much better than Leclerc, he and Ferrari are still way off from where they would hope to be.
Ferrari will not have much more time to rediscover their form as the next race in Australia takes place in less than two weeks. The Grand Prix in Melbourne will be held from March 31 to April 2.
