Binotto would like to see Giovinazzi at Alfa Romeo in 2022

Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto remains hopeful that their reserve driver will retain his place at Alfa Romeo.

Why it matters: The second place at Alfa Romeo is the only place available in F1 for 2022 and Antonio Giovinazzi is one of the contenders for that seat.

Details:

• Binotto continues to deny that Ferrari could interfere in Alfa Romeo’s driver decision.
• Other drivers who could get a spot at Alfa Romeo are Nyck de Vries and Guanyu Zhou.

What they had to say:

• “It’s clear as well that Antonio, for us, is our reserve driver, he’s an Italian driver, he’s part of the Ferrari family, he’s a Ferrari driver. So for us it will be great to have him still driving next year. We believe that he is a good driver and he deserves to have a seat next year.
• “But as I said, we cannot influence the team decision. As power unit supplier, obviously I think we’re always evaluating the collaboration, the partnership with the team, and the driver choice is part of the evaluation.”
