Ferrari tensions simmer as Vettel tires of 'biting tongue'

Team boss Mattia Binotto on Monday rejected mounting speculation that Ferrari are favoring Charles Leclerc over Sebastian Vettel by giving him a faster car.

The pair finished six places apart in Sunday's Portuguese Grand Prix after which Vettel suggested that Leclerc had been driving a faster car.

Leclerc came home fourth and four-time champion Vettel 10th, a result that extended the German's season-long run of defeats by his teammate as he seeks a dignified exit in his swan-song season with the Italian team.
