All of all Lewis had the better team, strategy, better car, better reliability, hard to say this as a Ferrari and a Seb fan. Its the pressure of being a Ferrari driver that killed Alonso, Seb and its the pressure which will also destroy Leclerc. Big change is needed, Binotto is not a good guy to lead the team, you need a leader that can find the solution when things dont look good, a leader with balls.
What???....and firing yet another team principal is the answer??? IF Ferrari fires Binotto that will be 3 team principals in this Turbo Hybrid era...Mattiacci, Arrivabene, and Binotto.
I disgree. Binotto comes from within Ferrari and is very technical on the F1 dept. He's moved people around in the last year....alot of people. He's only been team principal for F1 Ferrari for about a year and a half.....not to mention the F1 cars are produced a year ahead of schedule so the 2019 car was under Arrivabene's direction. The SF1000 is really Binotto's car....and we have yet to see it perform under track conditions. Yes, Binotto has"downplayed" the SF1000's performance and is lacking.
After Todt left in 2008, Binotto is the only team principal with the technicallity and responsibility of running an F1 team......everyone after Todt and before Binotto were just "fillers" TRYING to run an F1 team. Personally, I would NOT have put those "fillers" in play but I don't run Ferrari and have no say so.
Give Binotto and his F1 team time....I'd say 2 to 3 years before the drivers, the car and the team get crackin. We're going to have 2 young drivers next year...a 22yo and a 25yo....which is a completely different age group of let's say Vettel and Raikkonen.
The driver's are in play for 2021....now it's just the car and the team that need to back up the drivers.
It's not how start but how you finish.
