Lewis Hamilton and Mattia Binotto
Ferrari Team Boss, Mattia Binotto is extremely pleased with the driver line-up his team contains in the 2021 Championship. After suffering from a dreadful 2020 season, Ferrari has surely shown great signs on competing as the third best team on the grid. Yet on a recent occasion, Binotto went onto take sides upon the driver he feels is going to become the World Champion in 2021 after extremely stiff competition.
But firstly, it has to be acknowledged that Ferrari is not yet back where it belongs in 2021. With a shared third place with McLaren, the Italian team is at least closer to the top than it was in 2020. This is partly due to the drivers, as Carlos Sainz is a driver who is very close to, and sometimes even ahead of, Charles Leclerc.
What Was Opinionated by Mattia Binotto on Lewis Hamilton and His Own Team?
”I am convinced that with Leclerc and Sainz we have the best driver duo in Formula 1. They are talented, fast, young and a guarantee for the future. We know Charles. He grew up with us, and without the incident in Monte Carlo and the bad luck at the start in Hungary he would have had a victory and a podium behind his name”, Mattia Binotto said at La Gazzetta dello Sport.
‘Carlos has not surprised me. Before we took him, we analysed his character. He is confident, brings in points for the team and is very strong in communication with his engineers. He is integrated within the team and understands his car better and better. In the second half of the season, I expect him to be able to pull off a perfect weekend, with no mistakes in qualifying or at the start of the race.”
‘It’s an interesting challenge between two great drivers, and I hope they will fight to the end. If I had to bet, I would bet on Lewis, because I think Mercedes will win it at the end. However, I also applaud Max. It would be good for the sport if the status quo is broken”, the Ferrari team boss concludes.
