A Ferrari staff reshuffle and a declaration from the Scuderia chairman John Elkann that the Maranello team will not be able to win again in 2022 means the Formula 1 giants are very much in rebuild mode at the moment. But at the same time, Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Binotto is not completely writing off the next two years as they continue in their search for success.
Mattia Binotto explained:
“We just changed our technical organisation recently back in Maranello. We had to reorganise that. I am not doing the technical director role anymore. We need to have people that are fully responsible of the various areas. I think we got it. There are many tasks managing an entire company, there is no time to do everything. If you look back in the past, if you look at the history of F1, each time there was a winning circle for some teams, it was always when there was a big regulation change. It has been the case for us, Red Bull and Mercedes. 2022 is a big important opportunity for us. That doesn’t mean that from now to 2022 we won’t challenge our rivals, we try to do our best, try to progress our car but we are aware that the gap is significant and this time is very limited. Today [Sunday] we got a podium and there can be great races in the future.” – the Ferrari boss concluded.
