It's possible, perhaps Fallows isn't in best terms with Newey after he left Red Bull? If they are making way for Newey that is... Ferrari also tried to sign Fallows years ago but he chose Aston instead.
I think putting Binotto back on TD wouldnt be a bad idea. He good as technical.
Will Binotto be able to work under FV's leadership? Binotto had problems earlier when MA was the team principal. The problem does not get solved here so easily. A good TD will need support from every areas, its like a symphony and its a team effort. One person cannot bring the change overnite. I hope FV has build that platform in the last 2 years to bring in the TD who can then get the final orchestra play the way it is melodious. It needs lot of dedication, discipline and commitment. Also immense patience is needed to bring the change where failures are stepping stones for success and not getting fired. When they have this culture then I am sure they will be back.
I never disliked Binotto. I disliked his results. Bringing him back as a TD will never happen, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. I don't think he was the comfortable as the TP to be honest so if he ever would come back, I think he'd be fine working under Fred as long as there is mutual respect.wickedz50 wrote: ↑11 Jul 2024, 14:01Will Binotto be able to work under FV's leadership?

In 2019 he was responsible for the use of an illegal engine and when busted, Ferrari were no where for 2 years.codetower wrote: ↑11 Jul 2024, 15:07I never disliked Binotto. I disliked his results.

If there is one positive thing I would say about Binotto, he wasn't afraid to test the grey areas. Sure, it didn't always work, but he was pushing. Look at McLaren with the flexwing, RB with the flexing rear wings a couple of years ago, Mercedes with DAS, their front wing design, etc. I think in this sport if you aren't testing the limits, you wont get ahead.
Ahhh 2019... That win in Monza was incredible...RacePaceDemon wrote: ↑11 Jul 2024, 15:31In 2019 he was responsible for the use of an illegal engine and when busted, Ferrari were no where for 2 years.codetower wrote: ↑11 Jul 2024, 15:07I never disliked Binotto.

In 2022, the Ferrari was a good car, for a while. But reliability, strategic blunders and zero accountability meant they won only a few races.
After the summer break, the clown claimed they could win all the remaining races, they won none. He also claimed that all development resources were put to next years car. Even after they would likely need to change concept after TD39.
After the season in 2022 Binotto was fired.
In 2023, after much hype from the press. The SF23 which Binotto and his team were responsible for was 1 second off in race pace.
Does this sound like the sort of individual you want running a technical team?
