Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto says his team have not compromised their development of next year’s car to improve their 2021 challenger.

The Italian team appear to have experienced a marked improvement in performance over recent races which, combined with a relative decrease in competitiveness for McLaren, has seen them open a 39.5-point lead against their rivals to take P3 in this year’s Constructors’ Championship.

Binotto admitted recently he cannot wait for the season to end, given the “scrambling” being done to perfect their 2022 car with the massive regulation changes on the horizon, coupled with every team deciding to halt upgrades on their current cars.
