After 28 years of service, Mattia Binotto has finally resigned from Scuderia Ferrari. The Italian executive handed over his resignation after a challenging 2022 F1 season. However, reports say that he might make a comeback when Audi enters the sport in 2026. Fans reacted in Sebastian Vettel’s support as reports surfaced on the same.

German car maker Audi are slated to enter F1 in 2026. As they will enter the sport, they will be needing a man to run the business, which Leo Turrini believes might be Binotto. As per the report published by Calciomercato, Turrini conveyed, “Binotto will soon be at the service of the competition, I know he is talking to Audi, who will enter F1 in 2026.” [Translated from Italian using Google]

However, fans are also of the opinion that Vettel should lead Audi from the front. The German who retired from the sport after the Abu Dhabi race has a strong chance to be back in the sport with the team from his own country. With reports suggesting Binotto is also in the talks, it’ll be interesting to see which way the German heavyweights go.
