Former Ferrari teammates Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc met during the F1 75 event. The Two F1 drivers were one of the best pairs in Formula 1 which showed consistency just like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg from the 2014 to 2016 seasons. Carlos Sainz joined the Ferrari team in 2021 just after the exit of Sebastian vettel at the end of the 2020 season.

Sainz is simply the best teammate of Charles Leclerc over the years. Though both had some collisions strategically, it never turned ugly and both maintained their peace within the team. The pair were separated after the arrival of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari. Yet, the fans love to see the two drivers inside the F1 paddock laughing and playing with each other.

After his exit from Ferrari, Carlos Sainz joined the Williams Racing team in place of Franco Colapinto. The Spanish driver will use all the knowledge he has from McLaren and Ferrari to develop the Williams car this year. The British team is already seeing some progress in their car development for 2025, and Sainz as a driver could also make a big difference in racing and strategy.

Charles Leclerc on the other hand will have a tougher teammate. Hamilton is known for dominating his teammates over the years and the only two times he lost to his teammates were during the 2016 and 2024 seasons. Leclerc keeps a clean sheet over his teammates Marcus Erikson, Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz. So, it will be tough for Ferrari to manage the two drivers and keep them away from racing each other.

Everything should wait till March 14 as the Australian Grand Prix starts the 2025 F1 season. Before that, the FIA and F1 organised a huge event celebrating the 75 years of Formula 1 racing. During the event, all 10 teams and 20 drivers unveiled their cars simultaneously before thousands of F1 fans at the Q2 arena in London.

During the event, the two former teammates met each other and it looks like the bonding is still there even though they were separated. Charles Leclerc went to hug Carlos Sainz with complete joy as soon as he saw the spanish driver coming towards his side. That was one of the most memorable moments between Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc during the F175 event.
