Following Mattia Binotto's resignation, Martin Brundle believes there is a 'strange' situation going on at Ferrari. F1
Martin Brundle has been left perplexed by Mattia Binotto’s resignation as Ferrari Formula 1 team principal, claiming it would be “strange” if the team have not lined up an outstanding candidate to replace him.
In a statement confirming Binotto’s departure, Ferrari confirmed the process is “underway” to find a new team principal and is expected to be finalised in the new year; Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur iscurrently thought to be the leading candidate for the role. Brundle highlighted the pressures of Ferrari’s status as F1’s Italian national team as a key factor in their underachievement since their last Drivers’ title in 2007, referencing the spine of the team during Michael Schumacher’s years of dominance at the turn of the century.“You’ve got to speak Italian. And I think the problem is, if you look back at when they were last successful, they had a Frenchman in Jean Todt, a Brit in Ross Brawn, a South African with Rory Byrne and so on.
