Ferrari, collapsing red: why doesn’t Binotto finish like Sarri?

3 ‘reading

But what should we do with Ferraris? Launch an appeal to Pope Francis? Begging Merkel to help us stop the Mercedes? Ask Prime Minister Conte to draw up a specific relaunch decree? Or one more or one less … We must resign ourselves to decline. Waiting for Hamilton to retire due to the obvious inferiority of his opponents? It’s embarrassing, let’s face it. Formula 1 already passes the more time passes and the more boring it gets, as a statement to the evening news by Mr. Tajani from his floral Roman terrace, but this is frankly too much. Every Grand Prix is ​​worse.

Hamilton’s undisputed dominance

An endless precipice. Only those who fall can get up, they say. But nobody goes up here, quite the opposite. Once you get to the bottom, you dig to go lower. In this Belgian Grand Prix, dominated as always by Hamilton (89 career victories), ahead of Bottas and Verstappen. Our Reds, to surprise us for the worse, accomplished the difficult feat of finishing outside the points: Vettel thirteenth and Leclerc fourteenth. Bad things. By bicycle, given the proportions, the public would have already gone home not to be late for dinner.

In hopeless monza

The tests had already gone wrong, someone had tricked himself into a running rescue by leaning on the rain, but there was nothing to be done: the end result turned out to be consistent with the forecasts: a disaster. A hopeless disaster because a spark of reaction is not in sight while the regulatory machines are frozen until 2021. So what? Keep it up? Next Sunday, to add salt to the wounds, the Monza Grand Prix is ​​scheduled and then Mugello. What to say? Luckily, everything will be behind closed doors. With what spirit, with what will, knowing that a new blow awaits him, a Cavalino fan would have set out? Passion is fine, faith is fine, but to the limits they have patience, as Totò said, who did not know anything about Formula One, but perhaps, given the situation, at least it would have made us happy.

If for Binotto Ferrari it is in a storm (but not crises)

In this free fall into the underworld, as in all psychodramas, there is however a lighter setback, an almost funny aspect. These are the explanations of those interested, both Vettel and Leclerc (“It is not easy to work in these conditions, you have to do something and it will be hard at Monza”), and those of Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team manager. Faced with this new collapse, Binotto does not change registration. Measured as if he had taken a relaxing bath in the Spa’s spa, he says yes, in fact “Ferrari is in the storm, but not in crisis”. Sharp words for the red fans who have been told for months that we have to be patient and that we have to work for the future.

Why doesn’t Binotto end up like Sarri?

But what future? But what patience? Everything is collapsing, Ferrari is the new tortoise of Formula One, and he, imperturbable as a Buddhist monk, says that there is no crisis, that you have to grit your teeth, that tomorrow is another day and that Sunday is there. it is another Grand Prize. Thanks, it’s good that someone cheers you on and pat you on the shoulder. Quite surreal. Maurizio Sarri, who in the end won a championship with Juve, was sent off in 48 hours like an old rag (well paid). Others, on the other hand, in a country that has very few certainties, walk through the rubble as if nothing had happened. Tell me? Yes, I was passing by, but I didn’t notice anything. Because something happened?
