Leclerc: Vettel knows he was wrong in Brazil crash

Charles Leclerc says he and Sebastian Vettel will not be barred from racing each other by Ferrari, despite their crash at the Brazilian GP, which he believes the German knows he was at fault for.

Tensions have simmered between Leclerc and Vettel through much of the season, but bubbled over in Brazil as their wheels touched and caused significant damage, forcing both to retire.

It left Ferrari stewing over a first double DNF since the Singapore GP in 2017, but the team have said that clear-the-air talks have been held between team boss Mattia Binotto and the drivers.

However, Leclerc says that those talks did see the enforcement of tighter team orders on the drivers.

"I think this doesn't change, we will be able to race together," Leclerc said.

"Obviously Seb and myself are very competitive. We both want to win, but we also need to find the right compromise.

"We are also racing for the same team and we need to be less aggressive towards each other, give us a little bit more space for these things so [it does] not happen again.
