Uninformed question of the day

OK, so explain this, Formula One fans.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz just won the Australian Grand Prix because Max "I Win Every Race" Verstappen had a rare engine failure five laps into the event.

Sainz is the only driver other than a Red Bull driver to win an F1 race in almost two years. He also gave Ferrari F1's only non-Red Bull victory last season when he won in Singapore.

Nevertheless, he's a lame duck at Ferrari, which has announced it's dumping Sainz at the end of this season to make room for Lewis Hamilton.

Meanwhile, Ferrari is keeping Charles Leclerc as Hamilton's teammate, even though Leclerc hasn't won a Grand Prix since Austria in July 2022.

My question is two-fold, therefore.

What did Sainz do to piss off Ferrari?

And, what does Leclerc have on Ferrari?

That is all.
