Karun Chandhok: Mattia Binotto’s Ferrari exit feels like football manager changeEx-F1 driver Karun Chandhok used a football reference in regards to Mattia Binotto’s Ferrari exit, questioning the team.
Max Verstappen took the Drivers’ title with a margin of 146 points over Charles Leclerc, while Ferrari finished 205 adrift of Red Bull in theThe end result was Binotto handing in his resignation effective as of the end of the year, with former Alfa Romeo boss Frédéric Vasseur taking over. “There were issues on the operational side. If you look at it from a technical standpoint, in terms of R&D [research and development] and design, they produced a very fast car, they are the fastest car over one lap this year.
At times though this went too far, especially with Binotto denying for much of the season that the team had a problem in the strategy department, when quite clearly they did. “Did he pay the price for trying to protect the staff at Maranello from the intense scrutiny and any public blame? Yes, I think he did.. Mattia Binotto tries to do the same thing at Ferrari, one is fêted for that and the other has to resign.”
Chandhok reckons that the drivers also must take responsibility for some of the strategical errors from Ferrari, though pointed out that it was Leclerc who often suffered when “blindly” following the calls, while Carlos Sainz made a point of arguing them at times.
