Formula 1 legend Mika Hakkinen pledged his support behind Charles Leclerc, after it was rumoured the Monegasque's relationship with former boss Mattia Binotto played a part in the latter's recent exit.
It was no doubt a mixed season for both Leclerc and Ferrari. In the early stages of 2022, he driver flew out the traps after winning two of the opening three races. Despite his quick start, Leclerc's form soon faded following a catalogue of errors from the Prancing Horse.
Ferrari had been criticised throughout the campaign for making a number of strategic mistakes which cost their drivers dearly.
