Speaking to RacingNews365.com about where his team stands compared to the rest of the grid, Binotto said:
Binotto believes that not only are they lacking in the engine department, but their entire package is a limiting factor. According to the Italian, Ferrari needs to make amends and improve in all areas.
However, he admitted the team is getting closer to their desired target:
Ferrari needs to be in better positions: Mattia Binotto
Ferrari struggled last season primarily due to their engine. The Scuderia have undoubtedly made a step forward this season, however, Mattia Binotto was reluctant to talk about their improvements in the department.
Ferrari were accused of having illegal elements on their engine during the 2019 season. As a result, the team was forced to redesign their power unit for 2020 which left them as the worst engine on the grid. However, could Binotto’s reluctance to talk about the engine be another red flag for the Formula 1 paddock? No signs point towards illegal elements in the engine this season, but the team has been known to take privileges in their interpretation of the FIA’s regulations before. Could we see a protest from other teams if Ferrari gets too competitive during the season?
