Charles Leclerc says Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel understands he should not have made the movement that triggered their crash in the Grand Prix.
But Leclerc added that he shares some of the blame for the collision that took them both out.
Leclerc said:Seb probably should not have gone to the left and that he knows it, and that I could have done a better job of preventing him going to the left.
Whats important is whats clear now and we proceed.
Leclerc said the set will beless competitive with each other on track after discussions with team boss Mattia Binotto at the times between Brazil and the season-closing race at Abu Dhabi the weekend.
Leclerc stated:We are going to be able to race. We want to win and are both very aggressive.
We need to get the perfect compromise – we both race for the exact identical team. We will need to give each other a little more space
Leclerc spoke from the information conference in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. Vettel was due to attend but had been allowed to arrive at Yas Marina after the birth of his third child.
Leclerc explained that he and Vettel had spoken about the episode and agreed both might have done to avoid it.
The crash occurred when Vettel tried to fourth place approaching later Leclerc and he had passed into Turn One to go, Turn Four.
Vettel moved over on Leclerc and his left rear wheel struck at Leclerc right, offering the German a puncture and hammering his suspension.
Leclerc stated:We called Seb and we attempted to understand both our scenarios.
We looked at it – and I particularly looked at it to try to know how we might have made things much easier.
The consequences were huge but the effect was quite little, so that has been a tiny bit unlucky. It was unfortunate but we will make sure it doesnt happen again.

However between both pressure has grown from September as his variant has been re-found by Vettel and also started to Lelcerc.
In the Grand Prix, Leclerc failed to carry his side out of an arrangement in which every driver agreed to provide the other a slipstream.
