Binotto targeting the future: "We are still young as a team"

It has been a season to forget for Ferrari so far but Mattia Binotto has called for patience with the team being "young". They are yet to win a race this season.

Ferrari started the season with a renewed sense of optimism, under the leadership of Binotto, the arrival of Charles Leclerc and a strong showing in pre-season things looked good. However, it has been a challenging year for them with their season being plagued by reliability, team orders and a lack of speed which was evident at the Hungarian Grand Prix when they finished a minute behind the leaders.

Despite their struggles, Binotto is happy with their response when they face adversity and insists they are still a young team.

“Often I’ve said that we are still young as a team, because here people [have had] little time in the new role, and the know-how is something you build through the season, through the time, through the years," Binotto told Motorsport.com.
