Charles Leclerc had Ferrari fans in stitches as he jokingly reacted in a blunt manner as Carlos Sainz struggled with a quiz question about him.
Both drivers took part in a recently released video made by team sponsors Shell, in which they were posed a series of questions. Some of them were about each other, including when they were each asked to name three things they like about their team-mate.
Leclerc was the first to answer and took little time in coming up with three. He described Sainz as "a very good chef" and "a very fast driver", before mocking his Spanish friend by adding: "He's a very poor player at chess, which makes me feel better whenever I play against him."
Sainz, however, found complimenting his team-mate more tricky. As he immediately struggled to come up with an answer, Leclerc began to chuckle and muttered: "He cannot find any."
They laughed together before Leclerc put on a more serious face and began to pressure his fellow racer into an answer. "I like his style," Sainz said which made his team-mate happy, before adding: "It's tough, I need to find another two."

Amused, Leclerc laughed again and replied: "Just say you don't like me!" When Sainz came up with a second answer – mocking Leclerc's padel and golf skills – the Monegasque fired back by reminding everyone that his chess skills remain superior.
In the end, Sainz was unable to think of a third answer, though Leclerc seemed happier to win the point than he was upset. Reacting to the clip on social media, fans clearly enjoyed the camaraderie on show from the two Ferrari racers.
"The way Charles is looking at [Sainz] is so intimidating," wrote @yuujirrari. Fellow Twitter user @bangbongbingus added: "That video was just 14:20 minutes of Charles getting bullied."
Several fans urged Sainz: "Don't lie," pointing out that they are clearly good friends who like each other a lot. And a couple even reckoned the Spaniard was stretching when claiming to be a fan of Leclerc's fashion style, which was labelled "questionable" by @dee_znias.
