The Scuderia Ferrari has endured some difficult outings in the past, especially the entire 2020 season. However, nothing compares to the rollercoaster ride the Italian team has been on in the current season.

Ferrari boasted arguably the fastest and most reliable car on the grid at the beginning of the season. However, 13 races later, the story has completely changed and so has the look of the championship table.

Sadly, Ferrari only has themselves to blame for the exchange of hands in the championship tables. Botched strategies and unreliability have plagued and overshadowed the lighting start of the season.

Safe to say, surviving in the traveling circus with the rollercoaster of emotions is not for the faint-hearted. The comments of Ferrari’s boss, Mattia Binotto, will tell you exactly that.

While discussing the heartache of Baku and Austria, Binotto said, “No doubt when you see us leading the race, like Charles in Baku and even Carlos [Sainz] in Austria, those are problems you never want to see.” (Translated by Google)

After discussing the incident, the team principal makes a shocking admission. He admitted, “I’m staying calm but believe me, I’m depressed. It’s difficult and you need a few moments to react, then you really have to think about the next steps.”

No matter the results of the race, Binotto always likes to put on a calm front and deal with the problem with a practical approach. Moreover, he believes his staff must always have the authority to make decisions instead of micromanaging as things go wrong.

Additionally, despite the mixed results in the 13 races so far, Binotto feels the team is on the right path.

Ferrari boss feels no change in strategy is required for the remainder of the season

Despite multiple strategic errors that arguably cost them multiple race wins, Binotto does not feel a need for change. The Italian sees the rest of the season as a learning curve for 2023.

He says, “There are no magic formulas, so I don’t think we need to change. We’ve proved we can do a good job. It’s just a matter of getting there step by step, getting used to it. And whatever the outcome for 2022, we’re trying to be prepared for 2023.”
