F1 World Reacts to Ferrari Chief Resigning: "As a Ferrari Fan I'm Disgusted"

Fans have their say about the resignation of Ferrari's team principal.

It's been a difficult 2022 F1 season for Ferrari who had a great start to the year but quickly got bogged down with reliability issues and poor strategy. And now after weeks of speculation and rumours, it's not a surprise to hear confirmation that team chief Mattia Binotto is resigning from the Italian team.

You can read our article on the news here, but before we know more, we were interested to see how fans of the sport reacted to the statement from Maranello. Fans were quick to respond.

Many Ferrari fans have expressed their anger in Binotto leaving the team, with one admitting they were "disgusted" by the news:

As a Ferrari fan I'm disgusted by your
comment. In all my years as F1 and
Ferrari fan I've never seen a boss
better than Mattia Binotto and I think
he's the best team principal we ever
have had. Back him and trust the
process. We can still do this! We are
Ferrari! FORZA FERRARI! https://t.co/gdenvgvhHQ

I know Ferrari made some fairly major errors this season, but I think Mattia Binotto had a long-term plan and the team is moving forward. I can't help thinking this is another mistake. I'm sorry to see him go. #F1 https://t.co/LJh3GI6C0I

Interested to know what you guys think of Mattia Binotto leaving Ferrari.❓

Yes, the team made some bad calls this past season but it was moving in the right direction. Remember 2020??

I'm not sure swapping the team's leadership at this time is the best idea? #f1 #ferrari

Others were keen to agree with the choice made by the team principal:

Mattia Binotto is to leave his position as Ferrari team principal. Personally, I don't think this is about failing to win the world championship, but I do think it's about allowing highly embarrassing race strategy calls ... and the biggest of all mistakes ... they were repeated pic.twitter.com/aNKBqmenaV

Mattia Binotto’s resignation tastes bittersweet. I am not surprised by it, I was sure that he was not going to continue being Ferrari’s team principal next year, but I feel like changing just 1 person, the visible face, is not enough to solve all of Ferrari’s problems.

Oh, Mattia Binotto resigned from @ScuderiaFerrari 😱This was expected. But still... He was a good guy. Always protected his team. Wondering what Ferrari can achieve with a new team principal next year. Mercedes is back and Red Bull is strong as always 🙄

And now the rumours have started...

Just a coincidence that Ross Brawn and Mattia Binotto both resign within 24hrs of each other right?..
