Ferrari’s Binotto: Versatile SF70H can perform on all tracks
November 23, 2019
Ferrari tech boss Mattia Binotto lauds its new-spec SF70H charger, emphasizing the qualities of a car capable of performing well at all venues.
The resurgence of the Scuderia this season following a winless 2016 has been largely put down to structural changes implemented last year, with the team’s winning SF70H design the most prominent offspring of those transformations.
Sebastian Vettel ‘s three wins to date, which have put the German at the top of the drivers’ standings, are a testimony to Ferrari’s overall efficiency, regardless of the venue or the track.
“It shows that the SF70H was well-suited to all the conditions we encountered at a circuit that requires maximum aerodynamic downforce,” said Binotto, reflecting on Monaco where Ferrari won for the first time since 2001.
“But in fact, we can claim that, so far, our car has behaved very well on all types of track.
“Now we look ahead, one step at a time, aware of the importance of upcoming developments.”

Ferrari President Sergio Marchionne was equally enthusiastic about the Scuderia’s form and the merit of all those involved in bring the red camp back into the winner’s circle.
“It was a really exciting race where we saw the real Scuderia,” said Marchionne.
“My compliments to the drivers and, once again, the whole team, both those at the track and the individuals that work so hard each and every day back [at the factory] in Maranello.
“[This is] a car that is finally giving our tifosi the satisfaction they deserve.”
