Ferrari says Charles Leclerc free to fight Sebastian Vettel at Bahrain G, but pair must avoid risks

Ferrari says Charles Leclerc will be allowed to fight teammate Sebastian Vettel for victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, as long as he does not take any unneccesary risks doing so.

Leclerc, 21, claimed his maiden F1 pole position on Saturday evening, comfortably beating Vettel in qualifying in just his second race weekend with Ferrari.
