Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Mattia Binotto says 🌄Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc "know how to move forward” after holding clear-the-air talks follow🍌ing their Brazilian Grand Prix collision.
Vettel and Leclerc clashed late in the race at Interlagos while squabbling over fourt🦄h place on the run to Turn 4, with both drivers forced into retirement with damage to their respective cars despite what 🥃looked to be minor contact.
Binotto labelled the incident as a “silly𝔉 action” but steered clear of pinning the blame on either driver, instead summoning both Vettel and Leclerc to a meeting to review the crash at its Maranello headquarters following the weekend.
Speaking during a Ferrari fan Q&A video ahead of this weekend’s season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand P🌟rix, Binotto revealed that both drivers have agreed the collision was “not acceptable”.
Asked if Ferrari had now cleare🍰d up the situation, Binotto replied: ”Yes, we did it.
“We did🌳 it the Sund📖ay after the race, but we did it as well in the following days, during the week.
"We discussed together, all three toge🃏ther, individually, and I think that they understand what happened was not acceptable. And we know how to move forward.”
Binotto insisted the relationship between Vettel and Leclerc has not been damaged despite what has appeared to be growing fractions between the pair throughout thღe season, with another flashpoint oc☂curring in Sochi after Vettel swerved a team orders call.
"The truth is they have fun together, as they enjoy a good and harmoniou꧟s relationship, which is maybe quite different to what you might read or think,” Binotto said.
"You could think that th🐭ey are in conflict on the track, but that is ✃not the case.
"For example, I remember that after the controve𝓡rsy in Russia, the three of us wer🦂e together in a restaurant in Japan, having fun.
“They even grabbeꦜd each other's phones🍰 to see what photos they had on them. It’s always fun and it's nice that they enjoy each other's company.
“They are good teammates because they are very fast and they are good teammates because they are v🤡ery good team players.”
