Toto Wolff believes Ferrari is making a “statement” by suggesting it will prioritise Sebastian Vettel over Charles Leclerc at the start of the 2019 Formula 1 season.
Four-time world champion Vettel will be joined by new signing Leclerc at Ferrari this year after he was promoted to a race seat at the Scuderia following an impressive rookie campaign at Sauber.
Former technical chief Binotto heads Ferrari’s F1 operation this season after taking over the role of team principal from the ousted Maurizio Arrivabene, and Wolff has backed the Italian to prove a “force to be reckoned with”.
