Sebastian Vettel says he sees new Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc as a “full rival” this season.
Sebastian Vettel: “You always have a close rivalry with your team-mate.”
Sebastian Vettel: “But priority one is to bring the team forward.”
Last week, new Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto said they could favour Vettel over Leclerc early in the season if the circumstances arose.
“Sebastian has little to prove, and he remains our guide,” Mattia Binotto said.
Vettel said on Monday he was pleased with the new Ferrari on his first full day of testing.
“We couldn’t have hoped for a better day,” Sebastian Vettel said.
