Binotto still upset over Leclerc skydiving stunt

Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto still hasn't forgiven Charles Leclerc for the Monegasque's skydiving antics in which he indulged in Dubai last December.

Leclerc had wrapped up his season with the Scuderia in Abu Dhabi when he enjoyed a few days of leisure in the area.

The free time prompted the 22-year-old took to undertake a skydiving initiation, which Binotto only found out about when Leclerc posted a picture of himself on social media flying through the blue!

The two-time Grand Prix winner later justified his omitting to inform Ferrari, insisting with irrefutable logic that if something had gone wrong, he wouldn't have been there to be told off!

Speaking recently on the RAI 1's 'Che tempo che fa' programme, an unforgiving Binotto brought up the subject of Leclerc's daring jump when talking about his drivers and the 2020 season.

"Our drivers are the best duo in Formula 1. Seb is a four-time world champion, he doesn't need to be introduced.

"Charles is a young man born in our academy and it is the first time that an FDA driver has come to Ferrari.

"The hope is that there are others that will follow him. He won a race like Monza in his second season in F1, which was a big achievement.

"But they also make us suffer a little bit at times. Charles jumped off with a parachute and said nothing to anyone. Forgiven? No. He said he will never do it again and I hope he understood it."

Capisce Charles?
