the duo Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc It remains in Ferrari by 2023, but they will have a new boss. Mattia Binotto left the Scuderia and instead arrives Frederic Vasseura change that according to Peter Windsor It will be detrimental for the man from Madrid.
Windsor, former boss of Williams and Ferrari, analyzed the situation on his Twitch channel: “The relationship between Leclerc and Sainz was unbalanced because Binotto bet more on Carlos. He liked the way he worked and listened to him a lot.”
“When Carlos said ‘this car has too much understeer at low speed’, Charles replied ‘yes, but it can be remedied, we don’t want to damage traction by improving the front end’ and in that situation Binotto was leaning towards the Spaniard“, he added.
Therefore, for the Briton, the arrival of Vasseur as head of Ferrari means a preference for Leclerc (they both already coincided at Sauber): “This will not happen again. Vasseur knows that he is a serious driver. He knows that in crucial moments of the Q3 or race he will have an advantage over Sainz because he has the sparkle of someone who has class“.
“Sainz will be there with Leclerc when there is no pressure, but when it increases, Leclerc, as well as Hamilton and Verstappen, will get that something extra thanks to his talent“, he explained.
And Windsor still went a little further: “Vasseur, I think, is intelligent enough to know that if he wins the World Cup with Ferrarithe most probable thing is that it will do it with Leclerc”.
