Charles Leclerc said Carlos Sainz was 'over the line', while the Spaniard apologised after their late-race battle in the Chinese GP Sprint...

Ferrari ’s Charles Leclerc believes Carlos Sainz crossed the line during their battle late in the Chinese Grand Prix Sprint race.

But, out of the car after the chequered flag, Leclerc was matter-of-fact as he said that, while he felt Sainz had gone too far in his defence, it was something he felt could be easily moved on from.“But, to be honest, I have crossed the line also myself in the past. “It’s like this at the end. P4, could have been P3, one point, you can always do better, but we’ll focus onto this afternoon because this will be the game changer having a good qualifying which hasn’t been the case for me in the last two races.

“I did a good start, I was pushing Max hard at the beginning because I knew, if I passed him, I had a strong chance of winning the race,” he said.
