The Mexican Grand Prix probably sanctioned the definitive break between Antonio Giovinazzi and Alfa Romeo. A marriage that began three years ago at the push of the Ferrari then driven by Sergio Marchionne, but which now no longer seems to have a say in the choices of the team from Hinwil, despite the partnership with the Biscione.
In Mexico City, the Apulian had started the race perfectly, finding himself in sixth place at the first corner and seventh after the restart caused by the accident at the start, but the team called him back to the pits too soon destroying all his hopes of points. for this weekend. Antonio then expressed all his disappointment in the post-race, publicly opening a wound that cannot be concealed in the eyes of the public.
Interviewed by Sky Sports, Mattia Binotto tried to comment from a totally external point of view what happened today and – more generally – in Giovinazzi’s last troubled months in Formula 1.
“Very honestly I am unable to comment on this matter. I didn’t follow her because she was focused on our cars – declared the team principal of the Cavallino – I don’t know what happened to Antonio. Having said that, in addition to being a deserving Italian driver, he is also a Ferrari driver. We too regret that in some way it is not put in the right conditions. We’re sorry if he won’t have a Formula 1 seat next year. We believe he’s continuously growing and doing well. I think he would be entitled to a seat next year, but this is not in our hands. It is not up to us to be able to make the choice ”.
