Well it's looking more like the Hungaroring is going ahead and I'm sure fans will agree the twisty circuit will negate the top speed advantage of Ham/Bottas having it so easy there.

Noooo why would he stay? Because of the new development rules Ferrari basically has 6 months to develop an engine that's good enough to compete the next 3 years. Poor Sainz. He got played. And actually some people (not experts) are saying that Ferrari wanted to sign any driver before the season started because they knew their car was shitty and with a shitty car they can't attract top talent.

I think there's more to it than 'making a mistake going in the wrong direction' from Binotto, it's been dragging on since 2008,goes further than errors and didn't Seb say he'll drive for no money next season such is his love for racing.

SteveChester · 07-14-2020, 08:36 AM

Looking forward to title number 7 from Lewis.........

M5Rick · 07-14-2020, 09:01 AM

Christian Horner has said all teams should be worried at Racing Point's progress and indeed just read from RP that they say their car can be stronger notwithstanding the brake duct saga. Perez's stellar drive from 17th on the grid to fight for 4th is no fluke and Stroll's mugging of Ricciardo says they have the gloves off.

Yeah he said money is not an issue but Ferrari politics are Ferrari politics. They blamed Arrivabene (Although I think he was great at supporting Vettel), then they put an eager hot shot which pressured a driver who has history of not performing well with intra-team competition and then blamed him for losing the championship. One thing that Horner and Marko did well with Vettel (and they're doing it with Max) is treat him like family and surrounding him with support. Ferrari on the other hand expect you to drive a donkey to the finish line whole treating their drivers like disposable parts.

My friends , Binotto should be fired ASAP !
No matter who would replace him , it would be better anyway ...
I mean ,from what we saw in only 2 races it can't be worse !

More stupid mistakes will follow for sure...

I'm wondering why they chose someone like that, with Montezemolo and Todd they had real leaders who everyone looked up to.
