Everyone would accept that Leclerc has matured as a driver over the past seasons in terms of tire management, terms of driving and racing speed.
Driving alongside Carlos Sainz in this season, the question remains, whether or not Leclerc would be able to improve upon his points tally in the upcoming season?

Mattia Binotto on Charles Leclerc
Mattia Binotto stated, “Very difficult from the competitiveness point of view of our car but I think that in terms of leader of the team, he is developing himself.”
“Charles does not need to prove how fast he is; I think everyone knows how good he is, driving, quali, race, difficult conditions. I think in that respect again, very well done,” Ferrari Boss said.
“He understands when it’s time to support the team, when it’s time to push, when it’s time to… really improve. He’s aware that results of the future are somehow depending as well on his contribution. I think in that, he’s really a leader; not only as a driver, he developed himself quite a lot this season,” explained Binotto.
As suggested earlier and above, the Monegasque has matured as a driver over the years, and Binotto believes he will keep getting stronger. Let’s see how he performs as the season starts from March 26 in Bahrain.
