Mattia Binotto remains “very happy” with Ferrari’s choice of successor for struggling quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel. “It was definitely a fantastic start and a great drive,” Binotto told AS newspaper. Ferrari’s performance slumped badly in 2020, and Vettel is notably struggling to keep up with Charles Leclerc in the seat Sainz will take over next year. “There are people who are laughing at Ferrari now and they ask if I regret or I doubt them, and I always say no. I laugh at them, because they don’t know what I am living through and I am not even a Ferrari driver yet,” said the 26-year-old.
