Binotto will leave his role as team principal at the en🐟d of the month after four seasons in charge.

Despite Ferrari’s resurgence in 2022, their inability to capitalise on having the quickest ca💫r for over half of the year appeared to cost Binotto his job.

Operational errors combined with stagnated tec🐲hnical development hampered Ferrari last year, nearly dropping behind Mercedes by the season finale in Abu Dha൩bi.

Former Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur will replace Binotto for F1 2023.

Reflecting on the changes, Marko believes the change has weakened F🥀errari.

“In the case of Ferrari, I don’t quite understand the change,” Marko told AMuS. “I consider Binotto to be an🥀 excellent technician and politician. 

“He was simply overwhelmed by the task. But it wღould have been enough to put a sporting director at his side to support him at✨ the track and with the strategy. 

“With the new ma꧃n, who has many other jobs, I see a weakening fඣor Ferrari."
