The internal struggles within Ferrari have already begun. Sebastian Vettel has already announced his departure at Ferrari and that could cause problems within the Italian camp sooner than expected.

Vettel came to Ferrari in 2015 as the great savior, but in this case the fairy tale has no happy ending. Ferrari chooses Carlos Sainz in 2021 and that already before the start of the 2020 season. With Vettel in Ferrari next to Charles Leclerc that could still cause problems, but several sources are already reporting problems for the first race.

Who is the Pinocchio here?

According to the German outlet Express, Mattia Binotto sits with his hands in his hair. Vettel has been asked for a broadcast of Talk im Hangar7, which is broadcasted by Red Bull ServusTV. Binotto is afraid that another story will leak out in that talk, than Ferrari has brought out, making him look like Pinocchio.

According to statements of the team and Vettel, it became clear earlier that both parties saw no future in the collaboration. However, according to several German sources, there is more and Vettel wants to open a book about it. The question is whether Ferrari will allow it and so it is questionable whether Vettel will get approval from Ferrari to join the program of ServusTV.
