In recent days there has been talk of Ferrari’s intentions to do without Mattia Binotto as team leader. Something that the team has been in charge of resoundingly denying. This Thursday new information has appeared about his relationship with Charles Leclerc.
As reported by the newspaper ‘L’Equipe’, Binotto and Leclerc have not spoken to each other since the British Grand Prix. Career that, by the way, took Carlos Sainz.
This is how the French newspaper reports it: “Charles Leclerc and Mattia Binotto already they are not spoken from Silverstone. The Monegasque, who had lost the race after a new strategic error, had been reprimanded by Binotto in front of the cameras when he got out of his car.
The pilot’s anger is total specifically against his boss. “They have transformed the placid Monegasque into a ball of anger that we are not used to rubbing shoulders with,” the newspaper publishes.
In the last race, in Brazil, Leclerc and Ferrari had a disagreement again. The Monegasque, fourth, asked the team for Sainz, on the podium, to let him pass: “Think about championship points.”
Ferrari ignored its driver and did not carry out the team orders that it demanded. Sainz took the podium and left Leclerc with a new anger. It seems that his relationship with Binotto will not be easy to fix. And all this in the midst of rumors about a possible exit.
