Sainꦅz and Leclerc starred in a thrilling tussle for the final spot on the podium in the closing stages of Ferrari’s home race at🧸 Monza, with the pair nearly coming to blows on several occasions. 

Sainz ultimately prevailed to claim third place behind 🧔the Red Bulls, with Leclerc having to settle with fourth. 

“This is what racing should be all the time in my opinion,” Leclerc said. “This reminds me of the karting days when we were all on the limits.♋ 

“With Max we have had these battles in the past, with Chec𓃲o we have had these battles in the past and with Carlos today, it was realಌly on the limit. 

“I persona🌃lly really enjoyed it. There were so many moments were it was really trick. But I don't complain, this is why I love racing. The adrenaline you feel fighting each oth💎er, it was really fun.”

But Leclerc’s comments did not convince⛦ 2016 world champion Rꦿosberg. 

“There’s somethi𒐪ng a bit strange,” he told Sky. 

"‘I had such a lovely fight and had a great day and I’m going to🍰 have a beer with Carlos, we’re gonna have a laugh’. 

“I’m not sure about that because seriously Carlos on one of those occasions, he was over the limit. He locked up on the inside. He went off the tꦰrack and took Charles with him. As teammates, that’s not on, that’s a bit over 💝the edge. I’m not sure what’s going on there.”

Rosberg added: “I was looking and thinking ‘is this genuine, what’s going on now?’ Yes, I think it was. So🧜 I’m struggling. Is he too nice? What’s going oꦇn?”
