Ferrari team boss Charles Leclerc visited his hometown after the disappointing British Grand Prix. The Monaco native revealed to M4 Sport what their dinner was like.
He’s been chasing the unlucky Charles Leclerc for five races. Recently, at Silverstone, the victory was already half in the pocket again, when Ferrari made a poor tactical decision during the safety car stage at the start, and as a result only took fourth place. Leclerc wasn’t happy after the wave, and it was clear from the radio that he blamed the crater wall for another setback.
A video posted by fans was posted on social media this week, showing that team boss Mattia Binotto visited Monaco on Tuesday to talk with his rival at a joint dinner. The footage showed two Ferraris leaving the restaurant.

The M4 Sport On Thursday of the Austrian Grand Prix, his reporter at the site asked Leclerc what was discussed at that meeting. “Well, Mattia and I see each other often during the season. In a period like this, of course, everyone thought this was a crazy conversation, but it really wasn’t. We were just talking about the last two races” Said the third-place winner of the tournament to Matti Ogvari.
“Obviously my previous five races were tough. He just wanted to know if I was OK. He’s been to Monaco, we had a great dinner, and now we’re back on track, no problems.”
Italian Gazzetta dello sport Meanwhile, he reported that Binotto visited Leclerc merely to ease tensions at Silverstone, and that the two sides sought to strengthen their relationship.
Matt Ojvari He also wondered what the atmosphere was like inside the Ferrari camp. “Obviously I was sad because in the past five races I always felt like it was done, but something always happened. Reliability and other known things. Yes, it’s tough, on the other hand, our team is very united. And it always has been.”
“We have never been divided. I don’t even understand why people started writing about such things and invented such things. That is not the case. I don’t think we were as united as we are now. So it is not even a question”
answered.
In response to the question as to whether Ferrari has established some kind of team arrangement in relation to the Silverstone team’s instructions, and whether they are still allowed to fight each other in the race, Leclerc explained: “Yes, as far as I know, we are free to fight.”
