The new era of Ferrari has begun. Despite officially Mattia Binotto will step down as team boss of the Formula 1 team only on December 31 and his replacement Frederic Vasseur he will only take office on January 9, 2023, in fact the new course under the guidance of the French has already begun.
The engineer from Reggio, having concluded the job of supervising the work on the new car, ended on December 21st twenty years of experience with the Cavallino team and he spent his last day inside the headquarters of Gestione Sportiva after doing the delivery with his successor🇧🇷 In fact, on the 19th and 20th of December the new team boss was at the headquarters in Maranello to familiarize yourself with the Ferrari GES, meet the men who work there and also make the first decisions (including the choice of the date on which the single-seater with which Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will race in the next Formula 1 World Championship 2023 will be revealed). Obviously everything happened in great secret given that on paper, until December 31, the 54-year-old Draveil remains the CEO and team boss of Sauber – Alfa Romeo. For this reason, therefore, it was decided not to disclose what was in fact Vasseur’s great debut at Ferrari.
The new team leaderaccompanied by compatriot Laurent Mekies (who will remain in the team as Sporting Director), made a tour of the interior of Gestione Sportiva, also meeting the heads of the various areas that make it up🇧🇷 Although it took place incognito, this first appearance by the transalpine coach in Maranello also served to confirm what was already understood at the time of the official announcement made by Cavallino, namely that he will not have the same power that his predecessor had in recent years.
By the way, during the time he was at the headquarters of Scuderia Ferrari also had the assiduous presence of the CEO of the automaker Benedetto Vigna who, contrary to what happened in the past, seems to be personally interested in the activities of Gestione Sportiva and the Formula 1 team. the revolution that John Elkann had heralded in his blitz in Maranello on the day that Binotto’s resignation was made official appears to be already underway, though just unofficially🇧🇷
