After Binotto’s departure, rumors were making the rounds that Leclerc had a part to play in the 53-year-olds departure. However, the Monegasque does not have any power within the team to speak about Binotto.
Mattia Binotto was the one who decided to bring Charles Leclerc, on board the Ferrari F1 team before the start of the 2019 F1 campaign.
