Mattia Binotto says he is “very happy” with the way Carlos Sainz is progressing at Ferrari. At the same time, the Maranello team’s boss said Charles Leclerc was “too aggressive” in qualifying at Portimao. “Every time the races go by I feel better,” said the 26-year-old driver. Boss Binotto told Sky Italia: “Leclerc did not do his best qualifying.”. “Carlos is improving – he is just over two tenths from Perez,” said Binotto. Sainz, on the other hand, was able to manage things very well,” Binotto said after qualifying. “Having a second driver who is capable of placing himself in front of his teammate in situations like this is a great guarantee for Ferrari,” Binotto said.
