At Ferrari, one has already begun new era, and it is registered Frederic Vasseur. The now former Alfa Romeo team principal has already been a Maranello at the beginning of the week, performing the famous handover with Mattia Binotto.
Greetings Binotto
Based on what he says Roberto Chinchero on Motorsport.com, on Monday Mattia Binotto greeted the company with whom he worked for 27 years. A long journey ends for the Italian engineer, even if the possibility of having him back in is not excluded Formula 1, perhaps in Liberty Media the post of retiree Ross Brawn. Meanwhile for Binotto begins the phase of rest and at the same time of reflection in view of the future of him and study on the possible offers that he will have to evaluate in order to get back into the game, after years at the head of Ferrari certainly characterized by ups, but also many downs.
Vasseur is already in Maranello
With the handover taking place on Monday, Vasseur has already visited GES in Maranello, led by sporting director Mekies. The new Ferrari team principal will be able to be on a permanent basis within the stable, also based on what was stated in the press release, only from 9 January. On Monday and Tuesday, the French engineer preferred to take advantage of these first meetings to be able to meet top management. On the basis of what Roberto Chinchero recounts, in fact, a fundamental role for next season will go to Benedetto Vigna. The CEO of the red will be Vasseur's direct contact person. Ferrari wants restart and he wants to do it soon, in the hope of getting ever closer to a trophy that has been missing in Maranello since 2007.
