Binotto responded to Rosberg: “He knows it…”

Nico Rossberg launched some harsh criticism at Ferrari, and in particular at Mattia Binottoboss of the Italian team, after new errors of ferrari in Zandvoortwhich joins a long list of strategy failures and stops starring the red team.

“Mattia Binotto (Ferrari boss) is not capable of managing Ferrari. My God, Mattia keeps saying: ‘No, no, we don’t need to make any changes, everything is going well.’ When will the day come? It’s not possible, even if the Formula 2 or Formula 3 teams do a better job with strategy and pit stops than Ferrari.” said the former German F1 driver in ‘Sky‘. Shortly after, in Mattia Binotto’s press conference after the F1 Dutch GP, the Team Principal Ferrari responded to the words of the 2016 champion.

“It is not easy to speak from the outside. We will not make any changes. The most important thing is stability and working every day, race after race. We have very good people in the team and a great team, I have no doubt about that. It’s taken years of experience and time for the top teams to get there and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be the same for us.” Mattia pointed out, betting on the continuation of all his team members.

“Looking at it now, we might be a little slow to react to Lewis (with Leclerc). And with Carlos, the call was too late (with Sainz’s serious pit stop error), but Rosberg, who is an experienced driver, knows that it is not so easy to look for performance and it is easier to correct those errors than performances.. But for me the most important thing now is the lack of performance, that’s what needs to be studied”, added Binotto.

“WE HAVE NO RHYTHM”

Previously, on ‘DAZN F1’, Binotto already referred to Ferrari’s bad day at Zandvoort.

“I think we didn’t have the right pace in the race. The rhythm is not there, Carlos probably had an injury at the start in contact with Lewis, we have to check it, and then it was a difficult race for our drivers because they were out of rhythmthey haven’t made the most of the car and it’s harder to fight like that”, he commented.

“Also, It was a disaster (the stop) with Carlos, the last two calls to the mechanics, and we have to analyze why”he declared.

PERFORMANCE DECREASED AT LAST APPOINTMENT

“In three races in a row we have not done our best. Because Hungary we lost something and we definitely have to study it and come back for the last part of the season because there is more potential than we saw and there is no reason to think that we will not find it.

MONZA, THE NEXT APPOINTMENT

“In Monza, it’s not just difficult, it’s great to be back there after Covid and we’ll be happy to have a lot of fans around because the tifosi always support us. Although it’s not the most positive situation, we have great drivers, a great team and the potential of the car that we need to maximize. We will analyze the data and try to understand it and see where we can improve and try to fight every race.

HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE SANCTION AGAINST CARLOS SAINZ

Binotto also complained that Sainz was given a five-second penalty for impeding Alonso in the pits when he had to brake to avoid running into a McLaren mechanic: “A 5-second ‘unsafe release’ here… we think the FIA ​​It was too difficult.”

});

“We left space in the McLaren and the Alpine and he had to stop for the McLaren mechanics. The Anti Stahl has come in (it got stuck) and we don’t feel there is a penalty for the ‘unsafe release’. First, he has “Being safe, waiting, and then avoiding the Mclaren mechanics. I think it was tough because those 5 seconds cost him a lot of positions. I would say he was unlucky.”
