Leclerc ignored team order by passing Vettel
Charles Leclerc dodged a team order by passing his number 1 teammate Sebastian Vettel in Bahrain. Just before mounting the overtake of the sister Ferrari, the 21-year-old dubbed 'golden boy' by the Italian press said on the radio: 'Guys, I'm quicker'. His engineer replied that he should wait at least two laps. 'Then on the next straight I had the opportunity to go for it, so I went for it,' said Monaco-born Leclerc. 'It's always a tricky situation when you fight your teammate because the risks are very high,' he said. 'They warn you before the race to please be careful with your teammate, but I had the opportunity and I didn't hesitate.'
