'Binotto has all the skills to usher in a winning era'

John Elkann, the current big boss at Ferrari, offers Mattia Binotto a helping hand. He publicly shown his support and believes Binotto has all the skills to lift Ferrari into a new winning era. Elkann also has complete confidence in their new driver line-up with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

"Mattia took over the Scuderia a year ago, he has all the skills and characteristics to start a new winning cycle. He was already at Ferrari when Jean Todt and Michael Schumacher were there, he knows how to win", says Elkann to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We are laying the foundations for building something important and sustainable and this is reflected in the contract we signed with Charles, five years, never so long in Ferrari's history. Leclerc and Sainz will go home to Maranello to be so close to the engineers, the new machine will be born with them", continues Elkann.

John Elkann believes that the unrest around Ferrari comes mainly from the outside and not the inside. This seems to reduce the chance of Mattia Binotto being pushed aside.
