Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has talked about the "intense years" he spent with Mattia Binotto after the Scuderia boss left his role with the team.
Binotto joined the Italian giants back in 2005, and in 2019 became Team Principal. Having played second fiddle to Mercedes and Red Bull in recent years, hopes were high that the dawn of F1's new era in 2022 would see Ferrari capture a long awaited drivers' title.
That prospect raised further when Leclerc notched early wins in Bahrain and Australia, but his challenge was soon derailed by a series of incidents relating to car reliability and poor team strategy. He eventually finished second, but was a full 146 points off world champion Max Verstappen.
