Binotto has been absent from a working role in F1 since leaving Ferrari in November 2022, although he has been seen in various paddocks since then. He started working with Ferrari in 1995 and was there when Michael Schumacher won five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2004. Binotto worked his way up from leading the engine department to becoming Chief Technical Officer in 2016, eventually taking over from Maurizio Arrivabene in 2019. Ferrari struggled under his leadership, finishing sixth in 2021, despite having the fastest car early in 2022. Binotto stepped down, and Ferrari has since shown improvement in the 2023 season with two wins in the first eight races under Frederic Vasseur’s guidance. Rumors suggest Binotto may rejoin the motor racing scene with Aston Martin as Chief Technical Officer, assisting in overseeing the technical department’s operations, while former F1 boss Martin Whitmarsh works on the bigger picture aspects of Aston Martin Performance Technologies.
