Sebastian Vettel doubts there will be any issues working with Charles Leclerc as his new Ferrari Formula 1 t𒈔eammate in 2019, having not had to “deal with any bulls**t” while racing alongside🐭 Kimi Raikkonen for the past four seasons.

Following an impressive rookie season in F1 with Sauber, Ferrari confirmed back in September that L൩ecl🐟erc would be replacing Raikkonen for the 2019 season♏, racing alongside four-time world champio𓆏n Vettel.

Vettel enjoyed a harmonious working relationship with Raikkonen from the start of 201♔5 to the end of last season, but also consistently outperformed his teammate through all four seasons. Vettel took 13 race wins in that period, compared to Raikkon🍸en's single victory at the 2018 United States Grand Prix.

Asked if he expected to come under more pressure from 21-year-old Leclerc next year, Vettel said he doubted t﷽here would be any gre✱at changes in the team dynamic at Ferrari.

“I think it doesn’t matter who you are racing in the team, you always try to win, and that means you also beat whoever is driving with you inও the same 💮team. So I don’t think that changes,” Vettel said.

“Obviously Charles is different to Kimi, so we will see how it goes, but I think he’s a good kid. One thing for sure that I en💛joyed a lot in the last years is the mutual respect that we have for each other.

“I think we never had to deal with any bulls**t between ourselves, ♔so that made it easier for me, easier fo𒀰r him I guess and easier for the team.

“But I’m not expecti꧙ng anything in that direction from Charles. I think he’s a good kid. Obviously the team knows him very well for a while now, since he’s grown in the F🌺errari Drivers Academy.

“[I’m] happy for him, and then we’ll see 🍸how it works o🎶ut.”

Leclerc enjoyed his first running as a Ferrari F1 race driver in 𒅌Abu Dhabi last week, outpacing Vettel’s time set on the previous day by three-tenths of a second.
