After another memorable Ferrari fiasco, Mattia Binotto also had to deal with Nico Rosberg.

The former world champion is also a TV commentator on the side and recommended that the Scuderia, after the curious Formula 1 episode in Zandvoort, provide a breath of fresh air among the employees.

"We won't change people, that's a direct answer to Rosberg," said Binotto after the Dutch Grand Prix.

After all, in Formula 1 “stability is so important.

We have great people on the team, we are a great team.

I have no doubt about that.”

"Everything went against us"

Maybe not Binotto.

However, the number of doubters is likely to grow, not least in Italy.

Charles Leclerc finally raced back onto the podium in Max Verstappen's home win on Sunday.

However, teammate Carlos Sainz experienced what can happen at Ferrari when things are already going badly.

At the Spaniard's first pit stop, one wheel was missing. It felt like an eternity of more than twelve seconds before Sainz was able to accelerate again – with four wheels.

The call for a tire change came late, Binotto defended the mechanics: "It was a mess, the mechanics weren't prepared yet."

An impact wrench also remained lying around, and Verstappen's Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez drove over it.

Sainz then got a time penalty because he is said to have endangered another car in the pit lane.

"Anything that could go against us also went against us," said Sainz fatalistically after eighth place.

"We were just constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Former Mercedes man Rosberg marveled at this Ferrari performance just a week before the emotional home game in Monza.

"Even Formula 2 or Formula 3 teams do a better job than Ferrari with their strategy and their pit stops," said the 2016 World Champion. "At a certain point you have to start making some fundamental changes."

Rosberg is not entirely wrong.

Something has to change at Ferrari.

Coming from a racing team that was a serious challenger to Verstappen and Red Bull at the start of the season is causing debates, as Sebastian Vettel had to experience during his time at Scuderia.

Driving mistakes, failing technology, strategy mishaps: Ferrari has a lot to offer this year as well.

The “Corriere dello Sport” in Italy wrote about “sloppiness”.

"La Stampa" judged: "Ferrari has lost the rhythm.

In qualifying they still scurry through, but in the race the defects come to light without a reason or a solution." And the "Corriere della Sera" found: "Ferrari in red was powerless to the point that you thought it was Cavallino Rampante (prancing horse) lost the canter rhythm in the race”.

In a chronically agitated environment, Binotto tries to remain calm.

Jean Todt, who shaped an era at the Scuderia with Michael Schumacher, has long been considered a possible successor for him.

"It took all the teams years and experience to be up front," insisted Binotto: "There's no reason why it should be any different for us."

Is it going to be better in Monza?

“I am really looking forward to going there.

We always have huge support," said Leclerc, sounding confident, and then added much less confidently: "Unfortunately, our performance on paper will be a bit more difficult there than it was this weekend."
