Bravo, @CarlosSainz55
Kept fighting until the finish line. Bravo, @CarlosSainz55 It's hard to perfectly judge the comparison of both the Ferrari drivers as they were in different races altogether. There is surely an argument to be had about Leclerc being capable of snatching the pole position in the Canadian GP qualifying that Sainz ended up bottling, but that is something we cannot judge. What is, however, easier to judge is what Carlos Sainz was able to do in that Ferrari in the Canadian GP. The fight that he put up against Verstappen and the constant pressure he applied on the Red Bull driver tilted the balance in his favor.

Both the Ferrari drivers had a strong race in Canada The Canadian GP is all wrapped up as F1 heads back to Europe! Max Verstappen won the race and extended his lead in the drivers' championship to 46 points. However, where does he stand in the teammate battle against Sergio Perez? How did Charles Leclerc fare against Carlos Sainz? Or Lando Norris against Daniel Ricciardo? The first driver that you have to beat in F1 is your teammate and with the Canadian GP now in our rearview mirrors, let's take a look at how the F1 grid fared against their teammates.2022 F1 Canadian GP Intra-team battles
Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton vs George Russell 2-7
Winner Lewis Hamilton
Morning Team. You’re still thinking about this aren’t you… Morning Team. You’re still thinking about this aren’t you… George Russell had the edge over Lewis Hamilton throughout the weekend until the ill-advised switch to slicks in qualifying. That helped Hamilton qualify ahead of his teammate for the Canadian GP and after that, he never looked back. The two drivers had similar pace, with the only difference being that the track position was on Hamilton's side for once this season. The seven-time world champion did not need much more to end his seven-race losing streak and stand on one of the steps of the podium once again.Red Bull
Max Verstappen vs Sergio Perez 8-1
Winner Max Verstappen
Unfortunately for the championship battle, there wasn't much of a comparison between the two drivers. Verstappen hit the ground running last weekend while Sergio Perez struggled with the car. The Mexican's crash in Q2 and ultimately his DNF in the Canadian GP left him out of contention to turn things around.Ferrari
Charles Leclerc vs Carlos Sainz 7-2
Winner Carlos Sainz
