Antonello Coletta could replace Mattia Binotto as Ferrari Team Principal. The next race may represent a point of no return for Ferrari.

The coming weeks will be very important for Scuderia Ferrari and Mattia Binotto, according to the Italian media, who informs that Binotto might be removed from his current position. The news is reported Corriere della Sera, always well informed about Ferrari’s events, as Mattia Binotto has the turn things around after the disaster in Austria, with the incident between Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel: for the Maranello team the race was over after just 20 seconds, with a double retirement. “Without a reaction” – Corriere della Sera says – “John Elkann and Louis Camilleri could choose extreme solutions”. Camilleri may already be working for an alternative in case the situation does not improve, with the name of Antonello Coletta (Head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT) as a possible replacement being put on the table.”

Next Sunday’s Hungarian GP may represent a point of no return for Ferrari: changes are expected on the single-seater configuration, but a miraculous cure is needed to resuscitate a SF1000 born very badly. It’s almost certain that most of the car’s problems are linked to the FIA inquiry on 2019 engines, concluded with the secret agreement that for Ferrari has heavy consequences: aerodynamics and chassis were designed on the power levels of the old power unit, but then at Maranello they had to change because of the new directives and they found themselves with many, too many horsepower missing.

Born on 27 February 1967 in Rome, Antonello Coletta studied Economics and Business at Rome’s Sapienza University. He made his motor sport debut in 1991 as Sporting Director of the Forti Corse team, at the time racing in Formula 3 and Formula 3000. Again as Sporting Director, Coletta moved to Peugeot Italy in 1993 and to Alfa Romeo in 1995.

He came to Ferrari in 1997 as coordinator of the Ferrari Challenge, a post he held until 2003, when he became head of the Ferrari Corse Clienti department. From 17 February 2014, Coletta takes on the new role of head of the Sporting Activity Department, which brings together the Formula 1 operation and those of the Corse Cliente – Ferrari Challenge, GT races, F1 Clienti and the XX Programmes.

When he is not in Maranello, Antonello lives in Rome with his wife Maria Luisa and daughters Susanna and Camilla. In his spare time he likes reading and following other sports, especially football and motorcycling.

    My family and I have been Ferrari fans for many years, we think it is awful how Vettel has been treated.
    Ferrari have gone down, it is a shame that they are now behind Red bull and even now McLaren, we must set to and get winning again.

    Ferrari need to get Vettel his fifth championship!

    We didn’t have faith from the first in Binotto.

      How has Vettel been treated badly, though? His performances have been sub par, (as have Ferrari’s), he’s made many mistakes and his contract has ended, which Ferrari have chosen not to renew. He has 12 months to find another team. I think he’s been treated fairly.

    Lando Norris is much more talented and matured enough than Leclerc. Binotto has ditched Ferrari. And it is good decision by Ferrari to consider replacement for Binotto.

    I am a big supporter of Ferrari and I believe that Mattia made a correct decision to get rid of Sebastian Vettel. Now, Mattia must be given more time get rid of dubious engine that Ferrari used in 2019 and the problems it has created in 2020. I believe in Mattia! He is an honest man!

    They need to make a change sooner than later, this team was on the verge of a championship under Arrivabene. The two of them weren’t getting along, at the time I thought it made more sense to keep Binotto too since he was the more technical of the two, but he’s driven Ferrari into the dirt. He’s far too positive and complacent about their situation, they had a disastrous 2019. Now in 2020 their car is even worse, so how far down the grid do they want to fall? Do they really want this guy overseeing the regulation change? Get rid of him right now and save everyone time.

    1. It’s an organisation and everyone is responsible
    2. Binotto is not really good at getting everyone together
    3. Vettel is not focused
    4. To finish 1st, first you must finish
    5. The team personnels must listen to their leaders, whole- heartedly.
