When Binotto made the decision to part ways with Ferrari at the end of 2022, every F1 fan was astonished. Binotto had faced harsh criticism from Ferrari’s board after the 2022 season finished. This eventually led to the news that the Italian was leaving Scuderia. Now, Frederic Vasseur of Alfa Romeo will fill the Prancing Horse’s vacant seat in January as a result of Mattia Binotto‘s resignation.
The next major development was the appointment of Andreas Seidl as CEO of Sauber (Alfa Romeo). The German was the team boss for McLaren, and speculations suggest that Audi’s recent strategic investment in the team may have had an impact on Seidel’s choice. It should be emphasized that Seidl has just been named as the team’s CEO, and the group will reveal its team principle later.
Amid all this chaos and multiple official Twitter posts announcing the same, the Mercedes social media team didn’t want to be left behind.

I got terrified for a second, seeing as so many team principals went from other teams, seeing a tweet from Mercedes sent chills down my spine. I'm fine now though because of Totos smile. https://t.co/9LxiPvh4So
