Legendary Ferrari figure Mauro Forghieri has critiqued Mattia Binotto’s management of the struggling Italian team’s drivers. Following the legality saga of 2019, Ferrari’s engine is now conspicuously down on power but Forghieri insists the car is “wrong in other areas too”. His most specific criticism, however, is of Binotto’s handling of the drivers. “Ferrari should not have charged him with so much responsibility so soon,” said Forghieri. Forghieri also said his old boss, Enzo Ferrari, would probably not approve of the way Sebastian Vettel’s looming departure was handled. “I don’t like to upset Enzo Ferrari, because I really knew him and I know that things are attributed to him that he would never have done,” he said.
