Mattia Binotto says he is pleased that his experiment of sitting out a grand prix at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters over the weekend was a success. For the first time since becoming team boss, the Italian did not travel to the race location at the weekend. Binotto had explained his planned absence in Turkey on the basis that Ferrari is now fully focused on 2021. “In the last few races the car has proved to be more competitive than at the start of the season, proving that we have taken the right direction of development. “So if you ask if I am sorry for not being at the track, no,” Binotto insisted.
