A source within Ferrari advised him to, “Go easy on the JT stories.” Additionally, the source said, “I don’t think it is going to happen.

Mattia Binotto gives hints on how Ferrari is getting ready for the 2022 season

In 2020, the Italian team had a horrible year as they finished sixth in the teams’ standings. However, the following season they bounced back, achieving a third-place finish in the championship. With the 2022 season just a few months away team principal, Mattia Binotto is optimistic for the forthcoming season.

As quoted from Motorsport.com, “If I look at the 2022 car, and the 2022 power unit, believe me there is a lot of innovation in it. I think that the way that the entire engineering team has faced the new design, the new project, and the 2022 regulations, which were a big discontinuity, was certainly with a more open mind than before.”

“I can myself measure it by looking at the car itself, the way it’s progressing, and certainly with the amount of innovation we put in it,” he concluded.
