Well...what do we know, Suzie knows German. Must have went to a similar finishing school as Hannah did though Suzie must have studied other things like learning to cook.

Because "today" Binotto responds to self-submitted resignation from Ferrari at Racingnews365.nl

Translated for you guys (in short)

Bionotto's reaction in the Ferrari press release reads as follows: "It is with appropriate sadness that I have decided to no longer continue my collaboration with Ferrari. In doing so, I leave a company that I love and have been a part of for 28 years. to make."

"I am taking this decision with the full conviction and with that the peace of mind that I have given everything to achieve the goals set. I am leaving a united and growing team. A strong team, and I am sure that they are ready to achieve the highest goals in the future."

"I think this is the right step for me to take, as hard as this decision is for me. I want to thank everyone at home base who made this journey with me. It was a journey that consisted of difficulties, but certainly also out of a great deal of satisfaction."

Too bad ! I really liked the friendly Italian clown ...
Goodbye Bino , we will miss you !

I liked him too and well..28 years with them is a long long time, he has those Ferrari secrets and tension will grow about where he will go and not necessarily as a team manager.

Cute. Toto Wolff asks his son who he cheers for.

Jack Wolff: "Lewis ! ...And we have to beat the red one".

So Ricciardo got McLaren money for no 2023 services + will get Red Bull money for 2023 services.

about $21 million minus whatever he earns from driving for another team.

"You can't always get what you want": cuts both ways for McLaren and Ricciardo. But every man has its price: they found an arrangement. Likely the fact that Ricciardo got no #1/#2 race seat for 2023 (only reserve driver) will gnash teeth down at McLaren. A deal is a deal so McLaren will learn it the hard way. And Ricciardo is still 'inside the loop' for a possible come-back in 2024 (or even earlier if Perez would happen to get "Kvyat'ed" during the 2023 season if underperforming or new Monaco shunts).

Anyways, all teams will be more cautious with offering long-term contracts.

The presence from RIC means pressure for Checo at Red Bull .

^ Hmm but then it could be the pick-me-up that Checo needs to pull his finger out as he won't take too kindly being replaced by a driver that was thrashed by Norris over and over.
