Mattia Binotto doesn’t feel the new Ferrari SF-23 is his.
The words of Mattia Binotto
Mattia Binotto, a guest at the Panathlon Club of Parma, had his say on the new SF-23: “In Formula 1 we do not talk about the individual, but about the complete group. This is a car that was designed last year, in which I was with them, however, it is not my car, it is Ferrari’s car.”
“To win you always need to have the best car. The driver makes a difference for the last two tenths on the track. It makes a difference for talent, driving ability and mentality. Because a driver must have that charisma that pushes the whole team to keep improving. After all, he is a protagonist in the team, he is one of the most important people, because he talks to the journalists, to the presidency, to all his mechanics, to the team. So I think that a driver makes yes a difference on the track, but also in the ability to cultivate and improve the mentality of the team,” he added.
Ferrari was founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, in Maranello, in the province of Modena. It is involved in the Formula One World Championship, where it holds the record for the number of world Constructors’ titles won (16), and in the FIA Sport Prototypes and Endurance World Championships. The official symbol is that of the prancing horse on a yellow background, the color representing the city of Modena.
