Ferrari chairman John Elkann admits F1 team are making ‘too many mistakes’
Speaking to Italy’s ahead of this weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Elkann said Ferrari have “great faith” in Binotto, though he acknowl𒆙edged that the team still have areas to improve if the Italian outfit wants to compete for world championships.
Ferrari appeared in genuine contention for a first world title since 2008 at the start of this season after Charles Leclerc won two of the first three races, but their championship bid has collapsed in dra♋matic fashion thank⛎s to a catalogue of strategic blunders, reliability failures, and driver errors.
Binotto, who was part of Ferrari when the team dominated F1 in the early 2000s, has faced168澳洲5最新开奖结果: increasing scrutiny in his role of team principal despite insisting there is no need for changes within the operation.&nb𓃲sp;
“We have great faith i🧸n Mattia Binotto and appreciate ever🔯ything he and all our engineers have done,” said Elkann.
“But there is no doubt that the work in Maranello, in the garage, on the pit wall and at the wheel needs to impro𓂃ve.
“We must continue to make progress and that go﷽es for the mechanics, the engineers, the drivers and obviously, the entire management te🔥am, including the Team Principal.
“We have seen that there🧸 are still too many mistakes when it come❀s to reliability, driving and strategy.
“Putting our trust in Binotto and his team was the right d🍬ecision and it has paid off. Thanks to them w💫e are competitive and winning again.
"But I am not satisfied becau♚se I think we can always do better.”🎃
The 2022 world titles are realistically out of reach for Ferrari given Red Bull and Max Verstappen’s huge points advantage. The Dutchman leads the championship by 109 points and could wrap up his second drivers’ crown as early 💃as Singapore.
Despite Red Bull’s domination this year, Elkann is confident that Ferrari will end its long wait for championship silverware 🤡befo🐭re 2026, when the next cycle of engine regulations come into force.
“Our first goal was to be competitive,” he added. “If you are not, then yo💦u have nowhere to go, whereas you can always work on reliability.&n♍bsp;
“That’s why I believe that before 2026 Ferrari will once again win th🌃e co♏nstructors’ and drivers’ titles, with Charles Leclerc in pole position.
"We are lucky to have two gre♑at drivers, probably the strongest pairing in Formula 1.”
