Mattia Binotto: “The two cars are absolutely identical”

Given the diametrically opposed results this year between a Charles Leclerc wearing the Team Ferrari at arm's length, and a Sebastian Vettel leaving for Aston Martin Racing in 2021, the question of a possible difference in equipment between the two teammates may have emerged this year.

A possibility that Mattia Binotto, Head of Sports Management at Ferrari, wanted to quickly eliminate. “The single-seaters are absolutely identical, there is no doubt about it, underlines the boss on SKy Italia.

I hope Vettel can have a good qualifying at Imola, start higher on the grid and make more use of his unquestionable driving ability. » The German, for his part, insisted on putting everything together to achieve rapid laps consistently.

Remember that Ferrari continues the development of its SF1000, with the use of two additional tokens in recent days, in order to confirm certain progress already seen during previous Grands Prix.
