If there were any teams that during this season have shone, the same cannot be said of others. Some teams, compared to their expectations at the beginning of the year, have definitely disappointed. Among these, there cannot be Ferrari: let's retrace the analysis of the 2023 season together Maranello stable.
Ferrari, analysis of the 2023 season: "It will be an unprecedented car"
This was really expected from the Maranello team this year so much. At the beginning of this season, Benedetto Vigna said that the new SF-23 would be the “single-seater that will have no precedent in terms of speed”. With a gain like that, the fans expected nothing but a fight very tight, point by point, for the victory of the World Championship. This was not the case, and the Red team had to make a progressive move climbing up to third place in the Constructors' Championship. The minimum objective was obviously the second, which however was not achieved alone 3 points.
2023 season: failure or not?
But the season, therefore, is to be defined bankruptcy? From a results point of view, there is great disappointment within the team, especially on the part of the team pilots. But looking to the future, this can even be taken as a vintage positive for the Italian team. From the second half of the season, with the first real updates of the era Vasseur, the single-seater seems to be came back to life. This is demonstrated by the victory at Singapore and the one touched on Las Vegas. Since the second half of the year, therefore, Ferrari has not been at the level of Red Bull, but still fought with the runners-up in the class (Mercedes e McLaren). Furthermore, the 3nd pole position in the last 5 scheduled races by Charles Leclerc speak of a growth of confidence of the Monegasque. The same #16 he really had in the beginning struggled, always looking for the limit and, sometimes, finding the contact with the wall. In essence, the 2023 season can be a great base for what will come in 2024, with the hope of all the fans to have a car like the others.
