- ‘I am leaving a company I love … a united and growing team’
- Binotto carries can after Leclerc finishes second to Verstappen
The Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto has resigned and will leave his post at the end of December. It is reported Binotto may be replaced by the current Alfa Romeo principal Fred Vasseur but Ferrari have only stated in their announcement that a new principal will be appointed in the new year.
Binotto’s position after four seasons as principal is believed to have become untenable after he lost the confidence of the Ferrari president John Elkann following a season where the team was left looking helpless and, on occasion, amateurish by a dominant Red Bull and Max Verstappen.
