'There will be no number one or number two... “But if at one stage we have to take action, I will take action.' F1
While Leclerc has a history with the Frenchman, having raced for Vasseur’s ART team in the GP3 before making his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018, the new Ferrari team says he was interested in signing Sainz back in 2016 when he was in charge at Renault.“I started a discussion with Carlos and Carlos’s management when I was at Renault, to attract him and to sign the contract,” he said. “Then he joined a bit later.
“We won’t have a number one and number two. The organisation is crystal clear that they have to do their job and if at one stage I will have to take action for Carlos or for Charles I will do it.”Vasseur has already had sit-downs with both drivers, revealing he spoke with them separately and then together.
“I had dinner with them separately, then all together, and we’ve had the chance to spend a lot of time together over the last few weeks.
