Athletistic/Formula-1. Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto has answered questions about the team’s strategic mistakes this season.

“There is always a way to improve, there is always room to improve, you will never be perfect. I have no doubt that you have to improve. Improve the aerodynamics, the chassis, the power plant electric, strategy. Nevertheless, I think we have excellent strategists. I don’t think “That’s our weakness. Monaco, Silverstone, France had problems, but I don’t see a problem in the team. We made the right decisions.”

At the time these decisions were made, they were correct, but sometimes they turned out to be unsuccessful, not wrong. And sometimes our team of strategists worked much better than their rivals. For example, in Austria. Before Charles’ mistake, there was a good strategy in France. In the same place, we had the courage to race with two sets of “means”. So it’s not a weak point, it’s just that there are tough decisions,” Binotto said in an interview with Motorsport Italia.
