Mattia Binotto keen to clarify situation at Ferrari
- Tom Mason
Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto wants to clarify what is "silly" in the Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel rivalry. The pair crashed into each other last weekend which resulted in both finishing outside of the points.
It was detrimental to the pair in the battle for third in the drivers' standings, with Max Verstappen now holding an eleven point advantage over Leclerc, and an unassailable 30 point gap on Vettel with just one race remaining.
"I don't know what Toto [Wolff, Mercedes boss] did," Binotto told Motorsport.com
"I don't want to judge. I'm not interested as well.
"But certainly we need to clarify with who is in the team, what is silly and what's not.
"We are at the limit of the actions. But when you have a crash, something was wrong, no doubt.
"When you're free to fight, you're free to fight and it's only a driving matter how much you can take as a risk.
"But certainly here the risk was not necessary."
