Formula 1 | Binotto: “With the new engine we are closer to the best” [VIDEO]
“Leclerc suffered graining at the end of the race,” the Team Principal further stated
Interviewed by Sky Sport F1 HD at the end of the last Turkish Grand Prix, the 16th round of the 2021 Formula 1 world championship, Mattia Binotto promoted with flying colors the potential expressed by the new power unit at Istanbul Park, specifying how the changes to the hybrid system will almost certainly help Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to get closer to the performance of the best.
Despite starting from the last row, let's remember, the Spaniard managed to lead a concrete, fast and above all constant race, an aspect that allowed him to climb up to eighth position. The Monegasque also did well, fighting for the victory until the "delayed" pit stop.
Definitely encouraging signs that give the team hope in view of the final events of this championship. Next race scheduled in 15 days at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, United States, which will return to host a round of the championship after the forced break in 2020 due to Covid19.
