— Despite being told Sainz would not overtake, the Spaniard passed Leclerc, leading to these messages:
Bozzi: “Carlos has been told to not overtake but it is really close, you might be just in front. He has been told to not put you under pressure. So just take care of your tyres.”
Leclerc: “Maybe try in Spanish.”
Bozzi: “Pick up please.”
Leclerc: “Yes, whatever you want, as always.”
Bozzi: “Charles, you did your job. Okay. Thank you.”
Leclerc: “Yeah I did my job. But being nice fks me all the f**king time. All the f**king time. It’s not even being nice, it’s just being respectful, I know I need to shut up but at one point is always the same so… Oh my fking god.”
Bozzi: “Okay, but anyway you did the right thing for the team.”
Bozzi: “Pick up please.”
Leclerc: “F**king pick up what the f**k you want. And the radio is on, I am sorry.”
Fred Vasseur: “Charles! Charles!”
— This adds to previous tensions between Leclerc and Sainz during the season, despite Leclerc insisting their rivalry is exaggerated.
