Mattia Binotto: “We are trying to create a solid foundation to start a new cycle” | Football24 News English

2020 had been a major fall into the abyss for Ferrari in which there were many ups and downs and good results were scarce. The lack of competitiveness had brought criticism with it as it was unthinkable that the Italians would lose so much ground in a matter of one year for the next. Despite having achieved the worst outcome almost 50 years later, the goal is to regain the respect of his rivals, not backed by history, but by his performances on the track. Although 2021 is a year of inflection, prior to the change in regulations, those from Maranello are optimistic with the improvement of their power unit and, in addition, they are reinforced with Carlos Sainz who arrives in his best form. Mattia Binotto makes no secret of how tough 2020 had been, but says they are doing everything they can to return to the top positions in the coming years.

Getting back to the top is his only goal

“There are no changes in our plans, there are no changes in what our future is. I know that my time is not infinite, I am aware that we need to do well as a team and on my side as a manager in the coming seasons. In general, 2020 It had been an intense campaign, difficult in many ways where our performance had been inadequate. Finishing sixth in the Constructors’ Championship is the worst since 1980. But this season is the one that we will invest a lot in the future. We are trying to create a solid base to come back to be competitive and hopefully we open a new cycle “, the Maranello team manager had concluded in words found on the F1 page.
