The Italian media remains convinced that Mattia Binotto will not remain Ferrari’s team boss in 2023. The newspaper said Binotto will not stay at the team in another role, such as technical director, and looks set to be replaced by Alfa Romeo team boss Frederic Vasseur. Frenchman Vasseur is close to Leclerc’s manager Nicholas Todt, with the 25-year-old Ferrari driver having been recently highly critical of the Maranello team’s 2022 campaign. Well-known Ferrari insider Leo Turrini said Binotto’s exit is “a loss for Elkann, a defeat for Binotto and a win for Red Bull”. Russian F1 commentator for Match TV, Alexey Popov, commented: “Binotto should not be in charge of the team, but I would have left him as technical director.
