With Max Verstappen having clinched the 2022 Formula 1 drivers’ crown and Red Bull on the brink of sealing the constructors’ championship, we examine how Ferrari’s title bid fell apart in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to ask how big an opportunity Ferrari missed out on and unravel the reasons for its strong start to 2022 not leading to a year-long championship battle.
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Ferrari F1-75 and the development progress made by the Scuderia both with the car and power unit package.
The operational and strategic weaknesses that led to it not making the most of a car that has so far racked up 11 pole positions are also explored and the contributions of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz behind the wheel are assessed.
And with 2022 already as good as done and dusted, we also ask what Ferrari can be expected to achieve next season and what might need to change for it to fulfil its potential.
