If we look back to May, when it was confirmed that a new cost cap would come into force in Formula 1, Ferrari recognized its interest in IndyCar to maintain its investments, something that now seems to have changed.
NO to IndyCar in the short term
A few months ago, Mattia Binotto, team principal from Maranello, confirmed that they were looking at other categories such as IndyCar and WEC. Because Ferrari is the team or one of the teams with the most employees and resources in Formula 1, they felt that this was an obligation for them in the way of ensuring the work of all their personnel.
Now, a few months later and with several projects in hand such as the new 2021 car and the future of 2022 with the new technical regulations, Mattia Binotto has acknowledged that for the moment they have left the IndyCar project on hold: “After our discussions, we have come to the conclusion that we will not enter IndyCar in the near future.“.
Once that was clarified, the director of Scuderia Ferrari continued speaking to Speedweek and acknowledged that they do not close the door definitively to this American category: “It could be a possibility in the medium or long term. But now we want focus all our investments and all our efforts on Formula 1“.
Despite not saying anything about other categories, it seems that we could take these same words and put them in other projects such as endurance races (WEC). Although for now and unless final confirmation by Ferrari, rumors about a possible arrival of the Maranello team to this category will continue for the next few weeks or months.
