In front of the cameras of Canal+, the French network, the two indulged in a fun little scene. Leclerc recalled an old promiseback to when both were at Sauber: him as driver, Vasseur as team principal.
“Fred, get your bathing suit ready because in 2018 we bet that if we scored points, we would jump overboard in the port. We didn’t succeed, but now, later, we will. I hope you will all be ready.”

“I could be in prison because I have sprayed the Prince with champagne on the podium. But he started it!” Vasseur responded to Canal+.
