Mattia Binotto to Charles Leclerc: "Some things should not be said on the radio"
F1 News
Mattia Binotto has said that Charles Leclerc needs to learn that certain things shouldn't be said over the radio during a race. At the Russian Grand Prix, Leclerc made it clear to the Formula 1 world that he was not happy with what had happened with Sebastian Vettel and the Ferrari team orders.
“I think there are some things that should not be said on the radio because at the end it would not have changed our decision, or it will only somehow increase the excitement of the race itself,” Binotto said to Channel 4.
“There are times to say something and times not to say. I think in that respect he knows that he has to learn and the fact that he apologized means he understood.”
Ferrari would like for those conversations to be kept internal as after the race there were many questions regarding team orders and whether Ferrari are prioritizing a certain driver.
Ferrari will hope for a less political end to the season and that their drivers do the talking on the track.
