Despite Ferrari’s strong display on Thursday in second free practice session for the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, Scuderia Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto though is refraining from “dreaming” of a race win on the streets of Monte Carlo this weekend.
The Ferrari boss admitted that a fourth place on the grid on Saturday would be a solid performance from Charles Leclerc, with maybe just a sniff of going even better.
“It’s always nice dreaming, but we have to be realistic” – the Ferrari boss said, in an interview for Sky Italia.
“It’s also true that here in Monaco in qualifying we can be all close to each other, a couple tenths can make the difference. Also from the driver, his ability to do well and to do a great lap. Charles is always really good in qualifying, he already achieved some fourth places this year in qualifying. So at least fourth is a position that he must try to guarantee, then maybe he can do even better. For Carlos it is different. He’s gaining confidence with the car, he’s growing, he likes the track. He’ll have to test the confidence he has with the car and be as close as possible to Charles.” – Scuderia Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto concluded.
