After speaking to each other just after the end of the race at Silverstone, with that finger pointing that went around the world, Charles Leclerc and Matthias binotto have met last night at Monaco. A gesture not to be underestimated, that of the engineer born in Lausanne, given how much the calendar of the Circus either dense of events. The weekend of the Grand Prix Austriain fact, it will already begin future with activities dedicated to the media.
It is therefore fundamental clarify intentions between the Cavallino ace and the team principal after a positive race for the team but not for the Monegasque. The weekend in Styria will be fundamental for the world championship run-up. For the second time this year, in fact, the sprint qualification on Saturday afternoon will allow drivers to earn a maximum of 34 points instead of the usual 26.
If Leclerc finally manages to put together a "clean" weekend, he could reopen the games two rounds away from the summer break. Precisely the rival Max Verstappen, among other things, took advantage of the "sprint" ad weekend Imola and the Ferrari debacle to take home 34 points and forcefully re-enter what some seemed to be a chapter already closed.
Now that Max and Red Bull have managed to overturn the rankings, it is up to Charles and Ferrari to attempt a global comeback. Starting right from the track where the Anglo-Austrians are the hosts and where in 2019 the two opponents had the first real wheel to wheel of their F1 career, culminating in the Dutchman's victory.
