Amid continued speculation over the future of Mattia Binotto at Ferrari, a highly placed source has now confirmed to TheFOXposts.Com that he will leave his role as team boss. The topic has been much discussed in the Italian media , with many publications examining what the team may look like without Binotto. According to them, it could be good news for Charles Leclerc , but perhaps less so for Carlos Sainz.
