On the morning of this Tuesday, the resignation of Mattia Binotto from Ferrari, accepted by the team. However, at the moment there is no substitute, although there are several names on the table. One of them is the Frederic Vasseur, boss of Alfa Romeoand if it finally comes to Ferrari, they would be very bad news for Carlos Sainz.
And it is that binotto was the man who signed Sainz for Ferrariplacing all his trust in him after the good years of the Spaniard in McLaren. That is why his departure is not good news for him. But the situation could get worse if the rumors of Vasseur’s arrival are confirmed.
The still boss of Alfa Romeo already coincided with Charles Leclerc in 2018in the team Sauber. It was the first boss of him in the Formula 1. That year the Monegasque stood out a lot despite not having one of the best cars, and the following year he signed for Ferrari. There are even rumors that he himself Leclerc would have been the one who has requested the signing of Vasseur by Ferrari.
One of the conditions that would impose Vasseur with his arrival at Ferrari would be to impose first and second pilot roles. Given that you already know leclercthe Monegasque has all the ballots to be first pilot and, consequently, Sainz he would become his squire. As happened, for example, with lewis hamilton Y Valtteri Bottas in Mercedes.
The Madrid driver already stated this season that did not deserve to be second pilotand if it arrives Vasseur your worst wishes could come true. The name of Ross Brown has also sounded and that would be better for Sainzbut for the moment it only remains to wait for the Italian team to make an official statement on the matter.
