Mattia Binotto has said that his promotion to the top role at Ferrari is not a reason for the teams dip in performance. The Italian team has struggled to perform so far this season and Binotto has said that Ferrari have had the wrong approach so far this season.
Many believe that Ferrari's dip in performance could be because of Binotto promotion and that he is now unable to spend his time working on Ferrari’s technical department.
“I don't think that's the cause - even if I do not have an answer at the moment, to be honest. It's true that many problems occurred which should not,” Binotto told Motorsport.com.
“I don't think anything has changed compared to the last year or the year before, it's true as well that we have never been too strong on the reliability in the past seasons, so it's something that should be, in terms of the overall approach to the development, addressed. It's something on which we are all raised on back in the factory.
“Sometimes it's only a matter of priority, a priority on developments on reliability, depends on where you are in a position [in the championship]. But as well, you don't fix reliability by only fixing the problems you got, you fix reliability by having the right approach to the reliability, and that's something which at the moment we are brainstorming.”
