Axed Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto could be snapped up by Mercedes, according to Italy’s authoritative Corriere della Sera newspaper. After 28 years with the Maranello-based team, Binotto has resigned following a period of speculation about his future. “Binotto and (Ferrari chairman John) Elkann were like water and oil,” highly respected Italian journalist Leo Turrini told Radio24. “When the Ferrari chairman loses faith in the team boss, this outcome is only logical.”. “Binotto will soon start working with the competition,” Turrini predicts. Corriere della Sera also thinks the Renault Group may be interested in Binotto for its works Formula 1 team Alpine.
