Charles Leclerc has been told he will not be given special treatment over Carlos Sainz this year, as their new boss shed light on the "clear situation" at Ferrari.
Fred Vasseur is the man in charge of the Scuderia this year, after Mattia Binotto's resignation last November. His departure came in the wake of a season in which the team flattered to deceive – they built an excellent car but still their title challenge was feeble.
Leclerc still managed second place in the championship and is the more established driver within the team, having signed a lengthy contract in 2019 to be the future of Ferrari. He also has a previous relationship with Vasseur – the Frenchman was his first boss in F1 with Alfa Romeo and previously they had success together in junior series.
