🏎 Why Ferrari needs to avoid a civil war

[Forward to a friend]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( [RSS]( Three victories on the trot for Ferrari, but with this success has come intra-team tension following Charles Leclerc’s rise to prominence coinciding with Sebastian Vettel’s struggles. And then came Singapore, when Vettel got the better of Leclerc thanks to a strategy call, and history tells us that civil wars have broken out at teams over less! Leclerc handled it well, failing to rise when probed about his displeasure – which we’d heard over the radio during the race – and generally keeping cool about losing what would have been his third win in a row. Ferrari knows it owes him a favour, so it’ll be interesting to see how it handles this weekend’s race in Russia should there be a strategic quandary like who gets the first pitstop if the undercut is an option...
