There has been a lot of chatter in the paddock surrounding Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto’s future with the team. He has been tipped to be replaced by Sauber’s head, Frédéric Vasseur from 2023 onwards. When asked, Charles Leclerc seemed to agree. Leclerc was asked the question in the context of Sebastian Vettel‘s comments about how Ferrari was being run.

Vettel, in a farewell interview with L’Equipe, said, “I have some ideas about what could be different in that team, but I keep them to myself.”
