There have been some changes at Ferrari since Sunday's Brtish GP, with Binotto remaining as team principal but no longer technical director.

It would only be a guess on my part but I suspect the Ferrari have systemic problems much like McLaren had pre Zac Brown. McLaren took an axe to their problems and from all reports ripped the whole thing apart, Ferrari are nibbling at the edges and if they expect a result from one or two position changes I wish them luck. It would not be a big leap to think this is a change brought on by desperation and the Italian media doing their usual lynch mob act and if Binotto is still there at the end of the year he will have defied the natural order of things in Maranello. Sad really as he is obviously a man whose life revolves around Ferrari but he is obviously not in a good place and should retreat into the back ground and do what he does best.

Following his firing, are Ferrari deliberately screwing over Vettel to make Leclerc look good?

Alternatively, are they in such a mess that they just can't run two cars properly at the moment?

Vettel had technical problems in all three of the practice sessions.

From the outside looking in I doubt that Binotto is a good TP, he has outwardly at least not got the cool, calm, control of things that ZB or Toto for instance appear to have. You will never see ether of those looking more than a bit puzzled when things don't go to plan. Ferrari have confusion built into their DNA for some reason. Another team who have management skill problems are Renault & HAAS, I call their style management by terror.

Agree. While Vettel has had some bad luck, he is making enough of his own. Ferrari has no reason to try to torpedo Vettel. It guess it is possible that Vettel may become a new man and crush Leclerc, but I just don't see it happening. At best, I see both of them doing as good as the car and allow. And that would not change things in the end (with respect to Vettel or Leclerc's career at Ferrari). What could happen is Leclerc potentially creating his own bad luck at the same time that Vettel's improves.

It's also potentially true that when things are not going well, Binotto may have welcomed the change.

"It would suit party A" isn't really enough for me to start claiming Ferrari are sabotaging their own team. Especially when the same thing can be explained through incompetence. Which Ferrari have displayed many times recently.

I doubt too Ferrari are deliberately holding back Vettel. To me Vettel has simply let his head drop. He had a good race in Hungary, but other than that he’s been nowhere

I also read somewhere that Ferrari said they were running a particularly low downforce set up last weekend (to make up for their engine shortcomings I guess,) but it seems Vettel was unable to adapt to it to the same extent as Leclerc.

Vettel is to get a different chassis in Spain after a small fault was found with the one he use in Britian due to kerb damage.

It would be interesting to know when this damage occurred. In Hungary it looked Vettel had turned things round, as he qualified 5th and finished 6th. However it was at both the British GP and 70th Anniversary GP, that he qualified and finished poorly. 10th and 10th in the first race and 12th and 12th in the second.

“Nowhere to hide” is an English language figure of speech that means it will be obvious for people to see. It does not imply that Vettel wants to hide and irrelevant whether they user has met Vettel.

Yes, thankfully we can make observations from our sofa, even if we aren’t always right. We don’t have to meet a driver to judge his race performances

Carlos Sainz: Ferrari driver signs new contract until 2024

'Carlos Sainz has signed a new contract with Ferrari until the end of 2024.

The Spaniard joined Ferrari in 2021 as team-mate to Charles Leclerc and has impressed with his speed, consistency and collaborative philosophy.

His new deal means his contract is as long as that of Leclerc, who signed a five-year deal before the 2020 season.'


It's a good sign of consistency for the next couple of seasons, and the driver pairing looks like they can deliver strong results. Will we see an intra-team battle for a WDC again in the near future?

Sainz seems to be a Button to Leclerc's Hamilton to me - good enough for a WDC and very consistent as we can see from the results and standings last year, but ultimately just behind in overall pace.

Would love to be proven wrong though as they both seem to be great guys and drivers and duking out for a WDC as Ferrari teammates would be ace.
