Ferrari confirmed that Charles Leclerc would be allowed to stay ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel in today's race. The team had previously stated that Vettel was their number one driver and in Australia Leclerc was prevented from doubling the German. Mattia Binotto will let both men run and then decide on team orders once the positions have been established.
"Charles is allowed to go as fast as possible, he is allowed to try the pole, he is allowed to stay ahead and we do not prevent him from doing so", Binotto told RaceFans.
"But I think it's important that our two drivers do not quarrel, take any chances, and do not crash together. No doubt that if the first lap is ahead, it will remain, but at the end of the race, it will stay ahead.
Asked about the situation in Australia, Binotto said:
"I think it was not a difficult decision because I think the way we handle these situations is clear to the drivers and before the race,"
"I think Sebastian was 10 laps ahead, we maintain the positions, we did not take any chances, we think it's the right approach, both drivers are aware, I think it's not a difficult decision to make in this regard. "
It will be an interesting battle at the start between the two Ferraris and many supporting Leclerc to take the best on Vettel. You can keep abreast of the race on our liveblog that will be posted online later today.
