Mattia Binotto may be at risk of the sack after a year in which Ferrari flattered to deceive, according to reports.
Ferrari began the season strongly, winning two of the first three races to announce that they were back in the title conversation. At the time Binotto's stock was high, as he was the team principal who had turned a team that finished sixth in the standings in 2020 into championship contenders in little more than a year.
But it wasn't long before the tide began to turn in Red Bull's favour. Champion Max Verstappen and his team have been remarkably strong and consistent, but they have been helped massively by a swathe of power unit problems and costly strategy mistakes which mean they will finish miles off the runaway title-winners.
