The recent resignation of Mattia Binotto as head of the Ferrari team will be discussed and commented on for a long time, but in this whole story there is one detail that raises questions. Charles Leclerc and his entourage are said to have played an important role in it – Leo Turini, a well-known Italian racing journalist who has very close ties to Maranello, in particular hinted at this.
But Mika Häkkinen, two-time world champion and now pundit for Northern European television channel Viaplay, doubts that Leclerc could have seriously influenced Ferrari’s top management’s decision.
“I don’t know anything about it. When I was racing I always thought it’s not about whether you like someone, but how good a professional they are, how committed and smart they are,” said the Finn on Sky Sports News. – That’s all that matters. And whether you like someone or not does not matter, because it will not affect your success in any way.
You have to work in a team, respect the talent and knowledge of others, appreciate their dedication to the sport. So I don’t believe this story is true. But what happened I am very sorry, because I think Binotto is an excellent personality.
Formula 1 is a very difficult sport. For a team to be successful, it needs three or four exceptionally talented people to lead it. One cannot. Such work requires the efforts of different people, different in character and talented in different fields. Then together they can lead the team to success.”
