With a world championship now gone, even officially, in the hands of Max Verstappen, it's time for Ferrari to start working for next season. In fact, 2023 will be a very important stage for the Maranello team who will try to find a success that has been missing since 2007.
From promises to facts
“By 2026 a Drivers' Championship and a Constructors' Championship” – declared the president of Ferrari Elkann. Words that smack of challenge, as well as promise, with the team principal Binotto who admitted he wanted to win even before the year communicated by the president. To do this, work is already underway in Maranello for 2023 and Austin, in this year's aspect, can already tell us a lot. In fact, this week Formula One is back on track with the Grand Prix of the USA, the first date after the Verstappen's success. It is normal that the interest of the teams, especially the red, both try to understand how to stem (in addition to the budget cap issue) the power that has been seen this year from Red Bull.
Leclerc in penalty in view of 2023
According to the latest, in particular what Motorsport.com establishes, Ferrari is ready to mount a new power unit on Leclerc's engine for the US GP. For the Monegasque it would be the sixth since the beginning of the season, which also makes us understand the great difficulty in being able to "survive" only with the 3 engines of the Federation. However, the PU6 will be very important in terms of 2023: it will be an engine in which Ferrari will look for full power and that will allow Leclerc, who with this change would start from the bottom, to go to a more aggressive mapping.
More updates ready
That's not all: a big update is in fact expected of the ERS, already mounted at SPA & WELLNESS, but which will be able to in Austin show its full potential in a Grand Prix where performance will be very important, especially for next year. A season is about to end, but in reality the new one has already begun.
