Don’t call Charles Leclerc with his 37-point advantage Ferrari’s number one driver because Carlos Sainz says that hasn’t been communicated to him by the team.

Although Leclerc has more wins than his team-mate in this year’s championship, neither Ferrari driver’s score on the log is a true reflection of their performances given that both have recorded several retirements.

As such they go into round 12 of the season, the French Grand Prix, with Ferrari refusing to dictate a number one driver.

And, as Felipe Massa put it, it probably wouldn’t be too wise to do so given they don’t know who is going to retire next.
