What is Mattia Binotto doing now?
Mattia Binotto (born 3 November 1969) is an Italian motorsport engineer. Since 2025, Binotto has been the head of the Audi F1 Project. From 2019 to 2022, he served as the team principal of Italian Formula One team Scuderia Ferrari in Formula One. Sanderson has been working on the Drive to Survive project since Season 4; one of the reasons he joined was that they needed an Italian-speaking director as Swiss-Italian Mattia Binotto was then Ferrari’s team principal and, even to this day, the team often speaks Italian.
What happened to the old Ferrari team principal?
Mattia Binotto left his position as Ferrari team principal following the disappointing end to the 2022 campaign; he will now return to Formula 1 to head up the Audi project following its takeover of Sauber. As Head of Audi F1 Project, Binotto now works in a co-leadership structure with Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley.
