Mattia Binotto could return to the Formula 1 paddock in the future when his Ferrari gardening leave is over.
That is the view of Guenther Steiner, who is a good friend of the Italian. The Haas chief has, for a long time, had a strong relationship with Binotto – in his new book, Surviving to Drive, he credits that friendship with helping him to secure the partnership with Ferrari which helped Haas to make it to the F1 grid.
The latest series of the Netflix Drive to Survive series also illustrates the relationship between them. The first episode opens with Steiner and Binotto driving a small classic car through the Dolomites in northern Italy and enjoying wine and cheese, while later they are seen giggling among themselves as Toto Wolff and Christian Horner argue in a team principals' meeting.
