Amid Binotto Sacking Rumors, Ferrari Star Employee Charles Leclerc Gives Honest Take: “There Always Needs to Be A Change”

Since 2020, Ferrari has been in a transitional phase. That being said, with the advent of the 2022 regulations, Ferrari looked like they had finally hit the nail on its head. But how the season has panned out has raised serious questions about their management. And Charles Leclerc may have just spilled the beans on it all.

There has been a lot of chatter in the paddock surrounding Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto’s future with the team. He has been tipped to be replaced by Sauber’s head, Frédéric Vasseur from 2023 onwards. When asked, Charles Leclerc seemed to agree. Leclerc was asked the question in the context of Sebastian Vettel‘s comments about how Ferrari was being run.

Vettel, in a farewell interview with L’Equipe, said, “I have some ideas about what could be different in that team, but I keep them to myself.” 

To this Leclerc replied in consonance with Vettel’s sentiments. He said, “There always needs to be a change in an F1 team, e.g. in the sense or in the way decisions are made.”

When asked about the rumors, he said, “Obviously it’s not down to me to decide, but I’m pretty relaxed.”

He then went on to explain himself, “The reason why I’m relaxed is that I have always open, frank and constructive discussion with my bosses, with my chairman, not only on the short term but on the medium and the long term.”
