Sebastian Vettel says he has been asking new Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc “a lot of questio🙈ns” about the team’s 2019 Formula 1 car.

The four-time world champion has been partnere🥂d at Ferrari by Leclerc following the Monegasque’s stellar debut F1ဣ season with Sauber last year.

Vettel h꧑as been left impressed by how quickly Leclerc has adapted to his new environment as both drivers work to understand and improve the Scuderia’s latest challenger, the SF90. 

“We sit right opposite each other and we share the same seat in the car so we are talking quite a lot, about thꦏe car’s behaဣviour, his feedback, my feedback,” Vettel said. 

“We are listening 🦄to each other. Everybody surrounding the table is listening so as think as much excha💜nges as possible. 

Asked if Leclerc has been seeking any tips from♌ the German, Vetteꦆl replied: “I’m asking him! 

“I don’t recall every question he’s asked but we’ve talked about the car and our feelings about the front-end, the rear-end and so on. ജ;

“I think there were a lot of questions b💖ut not just from his side, also I’ve asked a lot of questio💛ns.”

But Vettel does not believe Leclerc’s arrival has resulted in a dif🧸ferent dynamic at Ferrari compared 🤪to the relationship he had with former teammate Kimi Raikkonen. 

“We are always talking about the same things and trying to find the best balance and pointꦜing out the weaknesses of the car,” he said. 

“I think in this regard it’s been fairly similar. It’s probably a question I can’t answer. Outside it’s difficult to see but from the inside you can see꧙ it’s a bit different. 

“Needless to♔ say he’s ♓fast and knows how to drive a car otherwise he wouldn’t be here. 

“I always got💎 along very well with Kimi. I think I have probably spoken more with Charles in the last week than with Kimi up until the Barcelona race!”

Leclerc set the fastest time of pre-season so far on Thursday as Ferrari co🌳ntinued its strong pre-season, which has left rivals Mercedes suggesting the Italian squad is the team to beat heading into the upcoming 20ౠ19 season. 

Vettel wil🔥l return to the Ferrari cockpit on the final day of running on Friday🍰 as he looks to bounce back from a big crash earlier this week.
