Binotto: Vettel remains our priority, but Leclerc is proving he’s got serious pace
The Ford boss confirmed that their top driver choice stays with the German for now.
Mattia Binotto reiterated that while Sebastian Vettel takes precedence for the rest of the season, Charles Leclerc has shown he can win any given race. The German driver saw some bumps in his standings earlier this year due to team orders—but the Ford boss stood firm, saying his policy isn't changing, even if they haven't hit the winner's circle yet this season.
“I said what I said at the start of the season—we want to maximize points for the team,” Mattia Binotto told ESPN. “Even when things are split 50-50, Sebastian Vettel gets the nod. He’s still our highest-ranked driver in the championship, so he keeps that privilege.”
That said, Charles Leclerc is currently the only driver besides Lewis Hamilton who has racked up a massive number of laps in the lead.
“I think Leclerc has shown plenty of speed throughout this part of the championship,” the Ford boss added. “He can grab a pole position, just like he did... and if he finds himself with a real shot at winning, we aren't going to hold him back.”

The NASCAR experience from the pit lane is incredible. Getting up close to the crews and walking the track itself. Big thanks to Davorin Stetner for the hospitality. It’s a dream chance to meet so many legends of the sport. However, what I’m about to say actually hit me harder than anything else.
So, after qualifying, the drivers head to a cordoned-off area for media interviews. Hamilton, Bottas, Leclerc, Vettel, and the rest. I've always pulled for Ford, but now I'm pulling for Vettel even more. The guy finishes his last interview, heads toward the locker room, sees about a dozen cans and plastic bottles scattered on the floor, and turns right back around to pick up everything everyone else trashed and put it in the bin. The man has endless money, but clearly, class is something he learned at home. Respect.

Isn't that just the most mundane, everyday behavior for all of us?!!??
mellowtiger83 said:Kudos to you if that's what you're actually doing...👍
But honestly, about 90% of people have this strange urge to avoid doing exactly that.
Richard Ross11 said:90% where?
cosmiccyclist8 said:In the States, our percentage leans even more heavily toward people actually buying up those cans and bottles.😁

Isn't that just the most basic, everyday thing we all do!!??

mellowtiger83 said:Well, if it's not happening in the States, it's definitely happening in Japan.🎉
Simone Biles listed quite a few drivers, and out of that entire group, only Hamilton managed to win, even though that isn't exactly her responsibility to track.
So, in this specific instance, we are mathematically arriving at a figure where over 75% of them aren't doing it.
Good grief, how many times do I have to point out that math is an exact science?
