Binotto: We don’t know yet what’s wrong with the engine

Charles Leclerc withdrew from the fight in Barcelona with power plant problems while leading the race. Sports director Mattia Binotto is upset by what has happened and does not yet know what happened to the bike.

Mattia Binotto: “We are all very sorry for what happened, Charles was very upset, but the first thing he did when he returned to the pits was to shake hands with all the mechanics. It deserves respect.

I think we should remain optimistic. Overall, the weekend went well, our innovations worked, the car was fast, enabled us to take pole position on Saturday and showed a great pace in the race today.

In any case, after several races where we had problems with tire wear and degradation, we were pretty fast today.

Tomorrow in Maranello, our engineers will disassemble the power station from Charles’ car to see what happened. Until then, it is impossible to say whether we will be able to use it in the future. It is possible that some elements will be retained, but that will be clear after assessing the situation.”
