Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but another interesting development is the fading of the Ferrari engine cars. Both Haas and Alfa were fighting for top 10 and points during qualy and races at the beginning of the season and now seem to have drifted backwards to obscurity. One of them manages a good qualifying once in a while nowadays but end up going backwards in the race.

Is this also evidence of Ferrari beginning year with a more powerful engine and now Red Bull, Merc and Renault have caught up?

Yes, odd mistakes happen to even the best, and can be forgiven. But when there is seemingly a constant stream of screw ups, with many of them costing the team time, wins or points, one begins to wonder what Ferrari need to do to enable their fast car to actually fight for the championship.

Yes, Ferrari seem to find a new way to cock up their strategy every race. They have really thrown away a chance at the title. What happened in Hungary sums it up for me

Ferrari made the mistake of pitting the second time. They should have stayed out, they had more to lose by coming in and it proved. They are never going to win the title if they keep making these errors. Time for Binotto to go?

No, they didn't lose the race that way. Leclerc would have dropped down the order anyway on old tires (compared to Verstappen). THey were stuck with this strategy after their early first stop.

And I don't think that was a mistake either.
I didn't work out, but I think the opposite (Leclerc staying out, Verstappen pitting) would have given the same result.

IMO there was just no way Leclerc/Ferrari could have won yesterday.
(Barring mishap for Verstappen/Red Bull)

Time for Binotto to return to heading up the engine department - which he was very good at - if Ferrari do their usual scape goating job they will just lose another good guy. Their mistakes have been back through the post Todt era First a car salesman, then a Ciggerette salesman as team principle . What are they thinking of?!!! Get someone who knows the job - a Todt , or Brawn , or Domenicalli oh wait a minute.....

Where there is smoke there is fire or clickbait rumour....

Ferrari has denied rumours in the Italian press that its current Formula 1 team principal Mattia Binotto is set to be replaced by Alfa Romeo's Fred Vasseur.

When things get to the point of appearing in the Gazzetta, which has immense reach into Italian sport, there's usually something behind it.

But we'll see, I guess.

There is always someone who is brave enough (and with big enough of an ego) to step forward to run Ferrari F1. But frankly, would any sane person do it? Your likelihood of success is probably not that high, expectations are high, pressure is high, environment is probably not good and in the end, you will probably just be another team principle that is scapegoated and dumped on the trash heap.

That is a deep question to unpack. It might imply many things.

If there is a start, there is an end. Is the start and end at the same place (just singular poor leadership with Binotto). Or maybe the end is deeper within the team. Is the start and end even inside the team? I can't say one way or another. But I do feel the buck stops somewhere and that is at the top. And that seems to be Binotto. Is that even a good assumption? Is Binotto the top?

My point is that Ferrari F1 operates in a specific (and apparently difficult) environment. Of which many environmental factors are out of the control (or there is very little control) of whoever is at the top of the F1 team. So back to the "start and end of the problems" topic. Maybe the start, or the end, is some of those factors in which can't be control or are hard to mitigate.

Why does it seem to be hard for Ferrari to find success? What are those drivers that determine success or failure? Might be it hard for a single person to solve or mitigate enough of those to make the team a success? Are they empowered to solve the problems?

But in the end, you do have to wonder if Binotto has been given enough time to show if he is able to get it done. It's probably not a winning option to just keep doing whatever they are doing now. Even if it would be hard for most anyone else to do much better (IMHO). But they do seem to be a bit of a clown show these days. So that is why rumors like this are so believable.

He's been team principle since 2019 and they still can't do basic things like pit stops and tyres correctly. He has had easily enough time to get things done.

When your team continues to make rookie errors every week for years, the problem does start at top. Because his job to make sure these errors stop.

Ferrari need a change. Binotto's been given long enough, but this year has shown he can't get the structure in place to win the title. Whether Vassuer can do that, I don't know, but I think it's time they replaced Binotto either way.

They haven't really had a good enough team boss since they got rid of Domenicalli
