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

Sainz ultimately pr♊evailed 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 m൲y 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 Checo we have had these battles in th🎶e past ꦗand with Carlos today, it was really on the limit. 

“I personally really enjoyed it. There were so many moments were it was re꧙ally trick. But I don't complain, this is why I love racing. The adrenaline you feel fighting each other, it was really fun.”

But Leclerc’s comments did not convince 2016 world champio♚n Rosbe𝐆rg. 

“There’s some🐻thing a bit strange,” he told Sky. 

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

“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 track 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 𝔉it was. So I’m s💫truggling. Is he too nice? What’s going on?”
