Ferrari Formula 1 boss Fred Vasseur is unfazed by his drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton being publicly critical of the squad even though it irked John Elkann.

How a potential F1 Brazil GP pole got away from Leclerc – and Antonelli
It was a game of absurdly fine margins in Sao Paulo on Saturday after a cyclone blew through the city overnight, leaving a damp track and changeable winds in its wake.

What went wrong for Ferrari in Brazil GP sprint qualifying
A gyrating Ferrari was not an uncommon sight on Friday at Interlagos: Lewis Hamilton pulled a dramatic 720-degree spin when his SF-25 bottomed out at Mergulho in FP1.
