Sometimes, nothing is said, everything is said. This is the case of the phrase launched by Charles Leclerc in the run-up to Austrian F1 GP 2022. The Monegasque driver was asked if Ferrari should sacrifice, at this point in the championship, the options for the title. sainz (11 points behind Leclerc) and just bet on him to hunt Verstappen.
Charles could give his teammate a public cape to confirm what they want to highlight after what happened at Silverstone, that good vibes will continue off the track, and not add fuel to the fire. Without walking any further, Carlos Sainz said that after what happened, “as always, Leclerc has been a gentleman.”
Charles greeted Carlos and joined him for his celebration after the pit lane race last week, saying he didn’t want to make “Carlos’ day ”bitter with his post -race disappointment. But Austria came, and before the aforementioned question, its answer was none other than the following: “It is not my choice. This is more of a question for Mattia (Binotto, crew chief).
Not confirmed or denied. He didn’t mean what he thought. He handed the hot potatoes to Mattia Binotto. But ‘read’ that too. It targets the boss and encourages him to make a decision. Or at least, to explain the reasons why he didn’t want to show the public a preference for one of his two pilots. It was to take the microphones towards Mattia, a kind of pressure.
It should be noted that part of the Italian press criticized the approach ferrari sa Silverstonemisunderstood that ‘Scuderia’ decided to enter Sainz to change tires in the last ‘Safety Car’ and not Leclerc to win and get close to Verstappen. Even ‘Il Corriere della Sera’ said that “Leclerc’s case was ruined” and in one of its articles asked Ferrari to reward Charles ’merits and focus on him as the only number one for this campaign. That is, after Sainz has progressed hard in the last two rounds and is just 11 points behind Leclerc in world.
Therefore, it is surprising Charlesfaced with such a compromise question, he asked the spotlights to point out his boss Mattia Binottowho invited him to dinner this week at Monte Carlo to lift his spirits after 5 races full of strategy failures or reliability problems that caused him to lose the lead and he is currently third in world.
