Leclerc rejects Hadjar’s claim about Verstappen in a Ferrari

Charles Leclerc dismissed Isack Hadjar’s claim that Max Verstappen would have won the Singapore Grand Prix by a larger margin in a Ferrari, describing the suggestion as "nonsense."

At the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Verstappen dominated the weekend by taking pole for both the sprint and the grand prix and then winning both races. He finished the grand prix 7.3 seconds ahead of Leclerc.

Hadjar’s remarks were also framed around his rejection of the narrative that Red Bull currently has the fastest car in Formula 1.
