Binotto's departure and a possible shot in the foot of the Ferrari

The news that dominated the paddock last November was the dismissal of Mattia Binotto from the command of the Ferrari team-That was the headline that dominated the specialized press...Binotto's career can be considered unsatisfactory by many, but let's analyze the story situation more closely, the former team boss from Maranello did everything in his power, that is to say all the means that the team in red had to offer to put its main driver at the top-It is true that the team went through several moments of ups and downs during this year's season, and that was what left Leclerc the furthest away from Verstappen...But it is important to remember that this whole problem was not a total disaster for Ferrari, not least because the team was coming at a time of ascendancy from the point of view of the team's performance (the last races of the team this season prove it).

But the fact that Leclerc's good moment in the last few races was not enough for the high leadership that had been increasing the pressure on Binotto's ''back''. Leclerc's runner-up is the definitive proof of Binotto's satisfactory performance, that's a fact...Just remembering that the Monegasque driver was ahead of the Englishman George Russell-Without a shadow of a doubt the best revelation of the year in the season

With the change of command at Ferrari at that moment, a cycle of ascension was broken, now comes another command philosophy that can be beneficial or even worse.

Binotto had been doing his part in the midst of the red duo's great performance difficulties on the track-The question many enthusiasts in the sport have been asking themselves is whether Frederic Vasseur, who is now the current team principal at Maranello, will surpass his predecessor or be more a fiasco.

After all that, Binotto goes on with his life, even being able to afford the luxury of continuing to work at the head of another competitive team or not.
