Ferrari boss explains Charles Leclerc Silverstone chat after "wagging his finger" at star

Ferrari chief Mattia Binotto has moved to clarify what went down after what appeared to be a heated chat between himself and Charles Leclerc after his star driver missed out on a British Grand Prix podium.

Ferrari won the race, with Carlos Sainz taking the chequered flag to stand on the top step of the podium for the first time in his Formula 1 career. Sergio Perez was comfortably second, while Lewis Hamilton scrapped with and beat Leclerc to the final podium spot in what was an epic race that had everything.

The Monegasque struggled in the latter stages of the race after his team chose not to bring him into the pits when the safety car was deployed. Ferrari appeared to have time to bring him in, but they didn't and Sainz, Perez and Hamilton all changed to new soft tyres.
