I do not think,this was a "good" Decision to "tell theTruth" at the Start of the Season....

https://www.motorsport-magazin.com/...-abschied-kuendigung-mattia-binotto-teamchef/

Binotto took a long swing. First of all, the Italian recalled the winter and the beginning of the year: “Of course, in winter we always said - to him privately, but also publicly - that he was our first choice. I can confirm that."

At this point, Ferrari had already been contacted by other drivers. “It is normal for many drivers to ask in winter if there is a way to drive for Ferrari. We were of course contacted, ”reports Binotto. But at this point, Ferrari had all requests quizzed. "That didn't change our position, Seb was our first choice," Binotto says.

Then a lot changed, however. "What happened then? The virus happened and the whole situation with the pandemic that changed the whole world, not just motorsport and Formula 1, ”says Binotto. “The budget ceiling has changed significantly and has become stricter. The rules have been moved from 2021 to 2022. The cars for 2020 and 2021 were practically frozen. "
Binotto: Vettel could not prove because of shutdown motivation for Ferrari

A development that ultimately led to an unfortunate end for Sebastian Vettel. “The whole situation has changed, and the season hadn't even started. To be back on track would also have been an opportunity for Seb to show how motivated he was to drive for Ferrari. It was unfortunate for him, ”says Binotto. Also means: Ferrari obviously had certain doubts as to whether Vettel still fully identified with the joint project.



Again,a very "questionable" and maybe "stupid" Ferrari Decision ....
.....the only Thing is now - is this a Motivation or De-Motivation for Seb......?

Wow the Ferrari's are terrible what the heck is going on. Their engines sound terrible definitely something not right with them at all.
Ferrari/Alfa Romeo/Haas - that can be no Coincidence,they are struggling with their "Engine".
So much for "We didn't cheat last year"



Seb is finished...that is clear.Ferrari has "dismantled" the German.It would be a big surprise if he continues next Year....


Mercedes is in another World....again.....:huh::O
