Binotto will l✱eave his role as team pri🐭ncipal at the end of the month after four seasons in charge.

Despite Ferrari’s resurgence in 2022, their inability to capitalise on having the quickest car for over half of the year appeared to cost Binဣotto his job.

Operational errors combined with stagnated technical development hampered Ferrari last year, nearly dropping behind Mercedes by the season finalꦕe in Abu Dhabi𒅌.

Former Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur will replace Binotto for F1 2023.

Re♈flecting on the changes, Marko ꦍbelieves the change has weakened Ferrari.

“In the case of Ferrari, I don’t quite understand the change,” Marko told AMuS. “I consider Binotto to be an excellent te⭕ch🐟nician and politician. 

“He was simply overwh🌌elmed by the task. But it would have been enough to put a sporting director at his side to support him at the tr♐ack and with the strategy. 

“With the new man, who has many other jobs, I s♏ee a💝 weakening for Ferrari."

Marko sees Mercedes as Red Bull’s main threat next year, particularly 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

“As we said at the beginning, they are the more stable team,” he said. “And they have Hamilton. Even though it may have gone dow෴n this year. He’s a very speci♍al driver. 

“In between, he’s💯 shown time and again with his lap times that he’s a top man. It’s simply a much stronger package than Ferrari.”
