Next year Ferrari finally wants to celebrate again the world title. So the Scuderia from Maranello is changing almost everything about the car that Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will race against.
This year was not quite enough for the fight for the world title in the driver’s position: the Ferrari team experienced a performance problem in the middle of the season, which prevented Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz from being able to keep up with Max Verstappen. and Lando Norris. In the end, the Red Bull Racing star won, successfully defending the world title for the third time in a row.
In the constructors’ championship, the team from Maranello had hopes of winning the World Cup title until the end of the season in Abu Dhabi. But with that victory, Norris ensured the constructors’ cup went to Woking for the first time since 1998. Ferrari had to settle for second place.
The team is leaving no stone unturned to stay ahead next year. Seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton was hired to chase points with Leclerc. The Brit and Monegasque company’s car is also due for significant improvement. That’s why a lot is changing, as team boss Fred Vasseur revealed at a traditional media lunch at the end of the year.
“We will see in Bahrain if it will be competitive. Sometimes you only realize the risks when you look back. The car will be completely new, I think less than one percent of the parts will be the same as this year. It is a completely different project, but I think that is the case for everyone. “
