Fixed game prediction Leo Turrini: Ferrari, Leclerc and Sainz will lose from Binotto`s departure, but Red Bull will win, I`m afraid
Italian journalist Leo Turrini is disappointed with the departure of Mattia Binotto from Ferrari.
It is expected that the new head of the Scuderia will be Frederic Vasser, who heads the Alfa Romeo team. Binotto`s departure has not yet been officially confirmed.
According to Turrini, the decision will harm everyone at Ferrari and could play into the hands of Red Bull.
This is a defeat for Ferrari: the team leader changes for the fourth time in nine years. Nine years and zero titles.
This is a defeat for John Elkann. In January 2019, he appointed an engineer from Reggio nel Emilia, at least formally. [Binotto] was Marchionne`s legacy, okay. But if you are a leader and make a decision, you must defend it. This president can`t or doesn`t want to.
Of course, this is a defeat for Binotto. He dreamed of this chair all his life and got it. He wanted to repeat the successes of Jean Todt and did not succeed - or rather, he was not given enough time. Todt won the first Constructors` Championship six and a half years later. Binotto was not even given four. This season with four wins and 12 pole positions is becoming a failure. Someone has gone crazy, and many cannot say anything, because they simply do not understand.
But the fault is also on Mattia. The 2019 motor case deserved transparency, even if it wasn`t the cause of the confusion. Mattia has few friends at the base. And he knew about it, knew about those who call him Pharaoh behind his back. It was madness to start with the phrase we will start a new era. Todt never uttered such big words, even when he constantly won. And working with Leclerc was short-sighted: to treat him and Sainz as equal riders when the performances on the track and the standings say something else.
And specifically for Leclerc, this is a defeat, no matter how insulting it is to say. I`m a Carletto fan, but since his close contact with Elkann is no secret, the guy shouldn`t have let his environment play a role. It was necessary to understand that he would now become the scapegoat - before Binotto was the lightning rod.
Of course, this is a defeat for Sainz, who was a product of Mattia.
One may ask: who, then, will benefit from this strange and unpleasant business? I`m afraid Red Bull, but I`m willing to shell out money to be proven wrong, " Turrini wrote.
