I completely agree with this, even if I was hoping earlier last year there is some bigger picture in Binotto's head.
Of course, Ferrari is known for never being affected by outside influences...
It is not only speculation, it is a prime example of spreading balderdash.ringo wrote: ↑16 Jan 2023, 01:28This is speculation but could be investigated.. Was Binotto asked to leave because he lead the team to develop and engine that was fundamentally flawed but locked in up to 2026?
Could it be the PU should have been like the split turbo engines of the other teams, but ferrari chose their own way then discovered it was severely limited and they could not do anything about this for the remainder of these regs?
Binnotto would indeed have to leave if this is the case.
If we're talking fundamentally flawed in terms of it will never be reliable, then maybe something to speculate on, but the fact that all energy over the next 2 years can be focused on reliability, I think they'll get it right, if not from the start of the season already. As for the architecture of the engine, we'll when run at full beans it's very good, so hard to see reason for cause from that aspect.ringo wrote: ↑16 Jan 2023, 01:28This is speculation but could be investigated..

Considering Ferrari was pretty much in the mix even with a detuned engine for most of the last season, I would by no means call this severely limited. As long as reliability upgrades are allowed they'll be fine. First focus on power, then on reliability was the most clever way to go.ringo wrote: ↑16 Jan 2023, 01:28This is speculation but could be investigated..
