Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Mattia Binotto says Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc "know how to move forward” after holding clear-the-air talks✃ following their Brazilian Grand Prix collision.

Vettel and Leclerc clashed late in the race at Interlagos while ꦡsquabbling over fourth place on the run to Turn 4, with both ☂drivers forced into retirement with damage to their respective cars despite what looked to be minor contact.

Binotto labelled the incident as a “silly action” but steered clear of pinning th♔e blam🃏e on either driver, instead summoning both Vettel and Leclerc to a meeting to review the crash at its Maranello headquarters following the weekend.

Speaking during a Ferrari fan Q&A video ahead of this weekend’s season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Binotto revealed that both drivers have agreed the colℱlision was “not acceptable”.

Asked if Ferra🎃ri had now cleared up the situation, Binotto replied: ”Yes, we did it.

“We did it the Sunday after the race, but we did it as wel🐻l in the following days, during the week.

"We di🅰scussed together, all three together, individually, and I think that they understand what happened was not acceptable. And we know how to move forward.”

Binotto insisted the relationship between Vettel and Leclerc has not been damaged despite what has appeared to be growing frac𒁏tions between the pair throughout the season, with another flashpoint occurring in Sochi after Vettel swe🐻rved a team orders call.

"The truth is they have fun together, as they enjoy a good and harmonious relati😼onship, which is maybe quite different to what you𒊎 might read or think,” Binotto said.

"You could think that theyꦑ are in conflict on the track, but that is not the case.

"For exampl𓂃e, I remember that after the controversy in Russia, the three of us were together in a restaurant in Japan, hav🍰ing fun.

“They even grabbed each other's phones to see what photos they had o🍌n themඣ. It’s always fun and it's nice that they enjoy each other's company.

“They are good teammates because they are very fast and t༒hey are good teammates because they are very good team players.”
