With next year's car we'll see on a real fight but all these years sainz has always been better than leclerc, 2022 was hard because he wasn't used to the ground effect cars
We have to keep in mind Leclerc had a DNF while running 3rd at Barhain (and 2 others DNF, while Carlos only had one).
I would add overall even if he was too inconsistent with some horrendous weekend (Netherlands & Spain or Miami) Leclerc has been much faster throughout the season imo.
If we argue about Sainz not being used to ground effect cars (Leclerc isn't ? He's not Niki Lauda) we can also argue about the fact that this car isn't fitting Charles driving style, even if he's trying to adapt to it.
And I think he will be ahead of Sainz in the standings at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
