Mattia Binotto blasted for "unforgivable" errors as new Ferrari boss given simple order

A former Ferrari driver launched a scathing attack on outgoing team boss Mattia Binotto, who he says should have been "kicked out years ago".

Binotto was in charge of the Italian team for four years, culminating in their botched title challenge this season. Credit must go to him for overseeing the creation of their very fast F1-75 car, but he also received a lot of criticism for the strategy mistakes which hampered the team's championship ambition.

Rene Arnoux, who drove in 32 F1 races for Ferrari over three seasons in the 1980s, appears to be one of the outgoing boss' harshest critics. The Frenchman not only feels that the Scuderia is better off without him, but asserted that he would have replaced Binotto much sooner had he been in charge.
