Mattia Binotto’s departure ‘weakens’ Ferrari for F1 2023 - Helmut Marko

Bin♒o🐟tto will leave his role as team principal at the end of the month after four seasons in charge.
Despite Ferrari’s resurgence in 2022, their inability to capitalise on having the quickest car for over half of the year appeared to cos💖t Binotto his job.
Operational errors comb🐬ined with stagnated technical development hampered Ferrari last year, nearly dropping behiꦏnd Mercedes by the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Former Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur will replace Binotto for F1 2023.
Reflectingౠ on the changes, Marko believes the change has weakened Ferrari.
“In the case of Ferrari, I don’t quite understand the change,” Marko told AMuS. “I consider Binotto to💎 be an excellent technician and politician.
“He was simply overwhelmed by the task. But it would have been enough to put a sporting director at his side to support him at theℱ track a🌞nd with the strategy.
“With the new man, who h🧸as many other jobs, I see a weakening for Ferrari."

Marko sees Mercedes as Red Bull’s main threat next year, particularly 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
“As we sa🦩id at the beginning, they are the more stable team,” he said. “And they have Hamilton. Even though it may have gone down this year. He’s a very special driver.
“In between, he’s shown time and again with his lap times that he’s a top man. It’s simply a much stronger package than Ferra🌸ri.”
