Mattia Binotto, was not present at the Grand Prix in Turkey, but he will return this week in Bahrain. Ferrari will be aiming to close the gap on their rivals in the battle for third in the Constructors' Championship.

Binotto's return can be explained from the arrangements for the press conference on Thursday and Friday. On Friday, the team boss will be on the form and will take a seat at the press conference next to Toyoharu Tanabe of Honda, among others.

Binotto absent in Turkey

Ferrari's team boss chose not to travel to Istanbul. According to the Italian, he wanted to stay in the factory so they could spend more time developing the car for 2021. Ferrari have had a very difficult season and are battling in the midfield and they will not want another season like it.

Coincidence or not, but while Binotto was in Italy, Sebastian Vettel had his best performance of the year. The German was able to pass teammate Charles Leclerc in the final corner, who made a braking error while trying to pass Sergio Perez, finishing third.
