Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto was interviewed by the Italian media and spoke about the Maranello team’s top driver, Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque, who was able to take two pole positions in the first half of the 2021 Formula 1 season on the streets of Monte Carlos and at the Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan and came very close to taking an amazing victory in the British Grand Prix, has eighty points in 2021 Formula 1 Driver Standings so far, three less than his teammate Carlos Sainz.
Charles Leclerc, however, pays for the fact that he was unable to take part in the Monaco Grand Prix, where he would have had a great chance to win and at the same time his situation in the standings is affected by the lap 1 retirement in the Hungarian Grand Prix, where the Monegasque driver was taken out by Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll at the start.
“Charles Leclerc is doing well, he has a very high potential, he has not yet achieved the maximum taking into consideration his talent, skills and characteristics” – Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto said about the Maranello team’s ‘predestined’ driver – “Surely he lacks many points in the standings; it is difficult to make a precise count, but I think he is missing at least forty points, the twenty-five from the possible victory in Monte Carlo and I think eighteen from the race in Budapest.” – Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto concluded.
