After years of fasting, the Rossa in Bahrain she was back to savoring victory with a brace, a rallying cry which was followed by praise from everyone in the paddock and members of management. The immediate sensation was that of having a very powerful weapon in one's hands, the F1-75, which however proved to be a double-edged sword as the races went by. Ferrari switched from blue pencil errors to red pencil ones, serious shortcomings, side reliability and not only that, as also admitted by the team principal Matthias Binotto.
An unsatisfactory season
The world dream definitively vanished on the return from the summer break, from which the Red Bull dominated until officially taking the drivers' title at Suzuka with Max Verstappen and that builders arrived at Austin. Although the F1-75 was born under a lucky star, there is still a lot of work to do to aim for the world championship. Enzo Ferrari said "The best Ferrari ever built is next." The CEO of the redhead also implied it Benedict Vigna, that in commenting the financial results of the last quarter, admitted to not be satisfied with the results in F1.
"In Formula 1, the last time (results of Q2 communicated at the beginning of August; ed) I said we were fighting for the championship. Vigna commented. "While we are back to being competitive, we cannot be satisfied with the results obtained. "
Starting again from 2023
The prospects of winning on the upper floors of Maranello vary. From President Elkann who has "guaranteed" a title by 2026, to Vigna who hopes to be able to fight more vigorously in 2023 when it will be more difficult considering the recovery of the Mercedes, 40 points behind Ferrari's second place in the constructors' championship with two races + sprint at the end of the season. Precisely in view of this, the preparatory work for 2023, in which a three-way struggle at the top could return, cannot transcend anything.
"We will focus on the last few races and prepare ourselves in the best way for next yearVigna concluded.
