Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc had dinner with team representative Mattia Binotto at the famous Hotel de Paris in Monaco.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Scuderia Ferrari these days isn’t all right. Charles Leclerc was angry with the team’s strategy at the F1 British Grand Prix. At first he lost “a lot of time” behind Carlos Sainz Jr. in the opening stint, after which he was deprived of the chance to win by calling the team in the safety car.
Charles Leclerc retreated from the top to 4th place. Instead, teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. won the race. This is the second time this season that the team has lost the chance of winning due to inadequate decision making. The first was a home race in Monaco.
Charles Leclerc said Scuderia Ferrari needed a complete review of what happened on Sunday, but Mattia Binotto shook his finger on Leclerc.
Charles Leclerc is rumored to have refused to return to Europe with the team late Sunday. He also allegedly chose not to attend the sponsorship event earlier this week and returned to Monaco instead.
However, it was discovered that Charles Leclerc and Mattia Binotto were together on Tuesday night. This time it was filmed out of the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, where we had dinner together on Tuesday night in a much more harmonious situation.
“This conference had a different taste than what happened at Silverstone,” Gazzetta dello Sport said, “a dinner that permanently relieves tension after the race,” and “frayed by the British Grand Prix blunder.” “Strengthen the relationship,” he said, saying that the two were able to form a shackle rather than bring the tension to the Austrian Grand Prix.
However, the F1 British Grand Prix Scuderia Ferrari has pros and cons.
Former F1 driver Marc Surer told f1-insider.com, “They robbed Leclerc of the victory.”
“There’s nothing more than that,” agreed former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher.
“Leclerc is in a much better position than Sainz in the championship. The fight with Max Verstappen is very tight, and they do everything for him to bring victory, especially when Max was in trouble. Should have done “
Former F1 team representative Eddie Jordan added, “If you have friends like Ferrari’s strategist, you don’t need an enemy.”
Former Ferrari communication boss Alberto Antonini reports that the anger of the Charles Leclerc camp was apparent shortly after the checkered flag and that certain team members refused to attend the awards ceremony.
“I heard an ugly episode that happened right after the Silverstone race from a trusted source,” Alberto Antonini wrote in formulapassion.it.
“Some Ferrari staff allegedly refused to attend the awards ceremony and photo shoot, at least initially. If true, as I fear, this is not a good sign.”
“A little healthy rivalry in the garage is fine. It’s okay for each mechanic and each technician to support” his “driver, but the common interest must be to win.”
However, former Ferrari F1 driver Gerhard Berger sympathizes with Charles Leclerc.
“Once again, Ferrari came in its own way, reminding me of my time dominated by chaos,” said Gerhard Berger.
“So I’m not optimistic about their championship.”
After the dinner, Mattia Binotto and Charles Leclerc broke up with a smile at 11 pm.
