Mattia Binotto has been tipped to join the new Audi project by one of Italy's most prominent Formula 1 journalists.
The Italian ended a long career with Ferrari at the end of last season. He had worked his way up to being team principal for four years, before stepping down after a 2022 campaign in which his team flattered to deceive.
An engineer by trade, Binotto oversaw the creation of an extremely competitive car which was certainly capable of a title tilt. But Ferrari let themselves down operationally, making a series of tactical and strategic blunders which allowed Red Bull to run away with the championship.
