To be honest, I was surprised Ferrari sacked Binotto. The team beat Mercedes in 2022 and was clearly improving. They developed a very competitive car, they have a great pair of drivers and things were looking up. Sure, strategy was bad, but that's something a team can work on. For all his flaws, Binotto earned one more season.

After working for the german branch of a larger italian company for a couple of years this is exactly what I felt for quit some time now. In the beginning everything was fine as we were mostly self governed with the italian HQ only checking in once or twice per year. But over time more and more deciscions were made in italy without trying to understand or learn our part of the buisness (the company produced automatisations for gates, doors and windows and the german branch was solely responsible for indusrial products). Than when tey fired our local boss and hired a guy from italy who didn't even worked for the company bevor it really went downhill. Key personal left or were fired because they couldn't work with our new boss, customers went away cause our internal organistion went haywire after said personal left and even after one year in the position our new boss (who was also responsible for sales) still didn't know how our products worked or what they could do. So instead of doing my job as a service technician (actually THE service technician towards the end) I constantly had to explain to him what kind product a customer wanted when they send inquiries to him. I'd say it was ridiculess if it hadn't led to an acutall burnout on my part. So yeah, rather impactfull live lesson for me and I fell with every (F1) Ferrari employe ever since. Watching F1 reminded me of this time way too often.

Thoughtful critique, challenging F1's powerful entities, and solid analysis pointing toward the future. More videos like this please.

Honest I think the upper echelons are definitely aware of everything mentioned in the video. They just don’t care about winning as much as their grasp of power within the organization

I really believe that even with the mistakes he made, Ferrari were way better off sticking with Binotto. He made steady progress, he understood the tech, he acknowledged issues and worked on them in a way that a lot of Ferrari team bosses have failed to do. I think they could have kept being title contenders in this era, but now I'd bet they fall to a distant third behind RB and Mercedes.

The Agnelli family was and still is to a lesser extent a cancer over all of Italy, Ferrari still lives in their toxic shadow. John Elkann, the grandson of Gianni Agnelli is the CEO of the holding company that controls a major stake in Ferrari, do you think he has that position because he is world class? Nepotism is bad, but in results driven environments it is disastrous.

I could be wrong because I'm only basing this around my loose interpretation of how Ferrari operates. I don't think it's necessarily the top management that is the fundamental flaw, even though this video makes a good point that I have to agree with. But for me it seems to be the way Ferrari, much like many companies in other businesses, are promoting people within their hierarchy. If a guy on the production line is good at his craft, he eventually gets promoted to a better/higher position. From there he will progress up the ladder and in Ferraris case perhaps end up in the F1 race team. But just because someone is good at their craft doesn't make them good at leading others in that craft. And a F1 team has to be built entirely with the right person for the job in every position. You can't get that if you are promoting only internally when you are competing against the best in the world. Or simply put; all the best of Italy can never beat all the best of the rest of the world.

The person who does the on track transmission for Brazilian TV, a smart, knowledgeable, charming, and funny woman called Mariana Becker is fairly well known on the paddock, and while the cars are lined up on the grid before a race with everyone, including celebrities strolling around between gear and mechanics, ms. Becker interviews people, especially team principals. All of them, except Binotto, answer her single question (she knows not to overextended herself), and one in particular, Zak Brown allows her quite a lot of time, which makes me wonder if he has a crush on her... : ⁰ ) but Binotto inevitably seems sour, arrogant, and she makes a point of asking him for a word at every race, and inevitably gets a shake of the head and not even a word.

You don't exactly need a charismatic Team Principal to avoid screw-ups like not bringing all 4 tires to a pit-stop, or sending a driver out on intermediates when everyone else is on slicks. You just need someone with common sense who takes pride in their work.

I agree with what was said; however, it is good to point out that throughout the season, the same big names that are now criticising the volatility in the Ferrari F1 team were also saying that Binotto was not fit for the task. You can't call for a better team manager and then criticise the team when they are doing so. But yes, the major problem with Ferrari is how the team (and the company) is exposed to outside influences. But those calling for a new Todt should try to remember what this will mean: Public communication close to 0. With Jean Todt, nothing was said, no objective was outlined, they were not commenting on their future evolutions... almost nothing. Something like Austria 2002? JT never explained it and never tried to find excuses. Quoting a famous character: He did what he thought was necessary and never lost one minute of sleep on his decisions. This was efficient but not pleasant to see.

6:55 - And also Brawn GP's championships in 2009 which are ironic !

Let's be real. Ferrari is the most overrated team in F1 history. They're only the most successful team because of 2 things. They're by far the longest running team in F1 history and their numbers got a huge boost through the Schumacher/Todt/Brawn partnership. Their last 2 (3) titles depending on how you look at the 2007 constructors' were still heavily influenced by those 3 people. Since 2009 it went downhill. They came close a few times or at some point in the year seemed to be but ultimately it was never enough.

I always felt that Binotto was more a do-er than a thinker. He never looked comfortable as Team Principle. I liked Arrivabene, at first, but Marchionne brought that old Ferrari "win or die" mentality back into the team, and that was that. I think that Ferrari needs to look at the team, as a whole, and see what the problems are, rather than just firing, or making team principles leave. The Ferrari Strategy department needs a few written warnings, for sure, but some of the blame for the team's woes has to go to Charles LeClerc too. I hope Fred Vasseur takes the top job though.

But their success stopped by 2008 (well for Aldo, James joined later). They got sacked fast too. They went on to win so much at Mercedes. Red Bull took McLaren legends Newey and a few other noteworthy people that Adrian wanted to bring in. Things were allowed to happen. Those teams are now the stuff of legends.

Elkann said he wants Ferrari to copy the Red Bull leadership structure. With one figure focusing on protecting the team from politics (Helmut) and the other focusing on the racing (Horner).

They need a driver who can bring the team together. That's missing with both drivers currently. There has been speculation that leclerc camp forced Mattia's departure. If that's the case, he will surely not win a wdc with Ferrari. Do keep in mind if Fredric is coming, he hasn't been successful as well in bringing sauber/alfa to top of the midfield leave alone the top 3.

It's a shame because, getting Ferrari to battle for the title (at least for a while) was an achievement in itself. But people begun to ask for more, and he couldn't deliver. I hope Vasseur will be chosen as he is known to not restreint himself and being very critical of himselft or the ones he works with.

Sadly, the "football mentality" has been in F1 for quite a while now, especially within the community and media. Always these extremes. I think Binotto is better at the tech stuff, so I think it was failure on Ferrari's behalf that they failed to convince him to stay or take another position within the team. TBH, I think it was a mistake to fire Arrivabene too. But such is Ferrari, the Konami of F1.

You did a vid on this eirlyer in the week

Perhaps The Race and Sky Sports F1 should be joint team managers at F1 Ferrari, they obviously have all the answers.

Those outside a situation can see what those inside cannot. Not just on racing. I see it in many sports. Top guys with.little real knowledge of the sport ruin it. A good company ceo does not mace a good race team ceo. The real ferrari was when ceo understood f1. His name was enzo, his passion was racing, he sold cars only to pay for racing. Company decisions never took priority over decisions on racing. To win you must base all decisions on racing, company must run as total separate entity. Look at any winning team in any motor sport, they may be owned by a company but totally run as separate entity.

Ferrari management is out of touch with it's racing team. While Mercedes Benz and Redbull have a much better managed f1 project. Oh how the tables have turned😂

Hey, as long everyone is Italian, who needs a trophy 🤡

Alpine has the same issues as Ferrari.

Ferrari needs to stray away from the " All Italian philosophy " It's clearly not working.

so true, they are acting like the early 1990s ferrari!

todt and brawn are out of contract, there is also a mick Schumacher.....

The two top dogs in Ferrari should or rather MUST follow the managerial structures of RB & Merc and appoint a dedicated senior executive at the f1 team... you can't manage the team when all of you have on the Plate is make money for the company... Fred Vasseur can fill that role as he has experience managing a race team that would formulate a clear Direction for the team away from corporate politics and bullshittery

Couldn’t agree more

You seem to know. Apply for the job to restructure their team.

I think Ferrari as a team failed together in 2022. The car was the best on the grid at season start yet by seasons end it had been out upgraded by Red-Bull and probably Mercedes. The poor team strategies pretty much came as a reaction to being slower and slower versus their rivals. (And they never really got on top of tyre degradation).

That's so sad...

None of this is new or surprising to anyone who follows F1 but it's seldom been said any clearer or more succinctly. No organization can succeed when the boss isn't really the boss, when the management structure is always on the hot seat and when it turns over every couple of years. That kind of thing has never been anything other than a recipe for failure.

Not working on correcting simple things like strategy, was his downfall,

Ask Chelsea FC about changing bosses while maintaining a fairly consistent level of success tho.

you mean not runnig the cars in qualy mode all the time and hoping for the best

The last thing any sports team, specifically a motorsports team needs is bean counters and suits interfering. U hire smart, capable ppl u trust, and let them do the job u hired them to do. Every sports team where the owner (and their ego) is front and center (cowboys, raiders, mavs, yankees, ect) fails spectacularly every year and the blame game follows immediately.

Really missing the ARAMCO ads now

The lack of faith in the greatest racing team in history is disturbing. Sure their method might have not worked well recently but in the grand scheme of things they are the blueprint of how to be a great racing team. What they need is someone with a pair of balls to standup to the said CEO and Chairman. Someone like Jean who will be like this is how we are gonna do things and you need to sit back and be quiet to let the experts do what they do.

That is why Horner turned down generous offer from Ferrari. It's not everything in the money.

So, if Audi hires Binoto, is there a CEO role and TP position ready to be offered long term within their F1 team estructure?

Thank you for telling us the bitter truth and no more false hope

look where ferrari was when binotto became TP and where it is now its clearly a improvement ferrari needs a new strategist and some luck not a new team principal and that comming from a red bull fan ...

Arrivabene is still one of Ferraris best principles imho

Toto Wolff got the benefit of the team mentality constructed at the foundation by Lauda, Brawn and Schumacher (along with Costa, an apprentice of Byrne) - and all their knowledge from years at FERRARI with Todt. How did Wolff fix the bad car and bad strategy calls from 2021/2022? He couldn't, because his success was built on the work of other men, and he doesn't know how to achieve results without spending his way out of the problem. And Brawn's book implied that Wolff forced him out. Funny how he always has an opinion on Red Bull and Ferrari, though.

I appreciate the effort that was put into this video and its quality. That said, we haven't learned anything knew! Binotto was sacked... Ok, we knew that. Ferrari is riddled with internal politics. Ok, everyone knows that one. Ferrari needs to change. Yes, we know that! RBR and Mercedes have been having a stable management. Yes, we have seen that as well. My point is that making a video solely for the point of its revenue is not what F1 fans need. There are a million little known things that could be explained in the sacred 8-10 minute video mark. Come on guys... You can do better. That's why we prefer this channel above others of the same genre.

4:24 all the pr officers from 2022

Bad strategy did in Ferrari this season. Not the drivers or cars. Bad strategy.

Binotto was never a team principle in the first place. They promoted to stop him from leaving. However, their culture and strategy is way off for a modern F1 team. They have to change their internal operations to dominate again.

Last time Ferrari won WDC, team wasn't managed by Italians. After and before they were and it was bad for the team.
