Ferrari is reportedly set to lift the lid on Mattia Binotto’s successor as team boss this week. When asked if he is surprised that the Frenchman is departing Hinwil, team founder Peter Sauber told Blick newspaper: “Yes and no. “But if you get an offer from Ferrari, you have to take it. On the other hand, if you know the history of Ferrari – back to the company founder Enzo – then you know that team bosses usually have a short life.”. When asked if he would have appointed Vasseur, retired Sauber – who is 79 – commented: “I’m glad I don’t have to solve this problem.”.
