‘Should’ve Crashed’: Watch Sebastian Vettel Fume at Leclerc During the Bahrain GP

Sebastian Vettel was frustrated with his teammate after Leclerc tried a move on the German during the Bahrain Grand Prix. The race resumed following a horrifying accident involving Romain Grosjean. The Haas driver got away with minor injuries as his car burst into a fireball.

Vettel was not impressed by Leclerc as the Monegasque tried to side-swipe him through the corner and pushed him from the inside with Carlos Sainz on his other side.

He yelled, “Again! He can’t just do that, as if I wasn’t there. It’s the same as Austria, seriously. This time… should have crashed, maybe that was the better option!”

Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc’s collision at the Austrian GP

The move was reminiscent of Leclerc’s lunge on the German in Austria. Both the drivers were starting from the mid-field and had a long way to go to reach the podium.

Leclerc was in Sebastian Vettel’s slipstream and began to make a move on him. Leclerc misjudged his braking, got on the curb and side-swiped the German.

In the process, Leclerc collided with Sebastian’s car and the German sustained a broken rear wing. It was a dangerous move, and Leclerc also sustained damage in the process.

Sebastian Vettel had to retire from the race immediately. Leclerc went on for a few more laps but had to retire from the race as well. Things went from bad to worse for the Scuderia team as both their drivers crashed in the first lap.

Charles Leclerc made a similar move today, and Sebastian Vettel was not at all impressed. He gave Leclerc his way forward, but not before snapping over the radio. Sebastian Vettel could continue his form from Istanbul park as he failed to score even a single point.

The tension between the Ferrari teammates runs high. This particular incident is not going to make things any easier for the team. Sebastian Vettel finished the race at P13, while Charles crossed the line at P10. This surely puts Ferrari out of the P3 race in the constructors’ championships.
