Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc hilariously claimed that his remark of team principal Frederic Vasseur being "not his girlfriend" was a "weird statement" if said without context. The Monagasque driver and the French team boss have made a successful duo with the latter playing a key role in the 26-year-old's racing career.
Leclerc and Vasseur first crossed paths in Sauber in the former's rookie season in 2018 and reconnected when the Frenchman became team principal of the Ferrari F1 team in 2023. Vassuer will also be reunited with Lewis Hamilton next year after helping the Brit secure the F2 title in 2006.
When asked if Charles Leclerc felt jealous of the bond shared by Lewis Hamilton and Frederic Vassuer, the Ferrari driver said:
"Fred is not my girlfriend."
