A race. A single race and the atmosphere at Ferrari seems to be completely suffocating. the walk of Mattia Binotto, far from calming the waters, it came to naught due to an SF-23 not exactly being born in the best way. In Bahrain, the seams of a car that goes as well as in 2022 at one lap and that in the long run, it goes just as steadily than last year. Even Aston Martin seems to be ahead.
The car directly eats the wheels. As soon as a few bends are passed, the very strong degradation fact that the times of Leclerc and Sainz keep going up while those of other rivals Either they are maintained or they even improve due to the lower gasoline load. And it is something that worries, and a lot, a Charles Leclerc.
Especially since the reliability problems are still there. What weighed on Ferrari last year is present, and the Monegasque had to retire following a problem after having changed the batteries of the car even before the test.
The most curious thing is that they can only use two different ones in the same World Cup, and I could already receive a penalty in Saudi Arabia, second World Grand Prix.
Leclerc has already spoken with the big boss
This is the situation which, according to reports ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, Charles Leclerc would have already met with Elkann, the big boss of the ‘Scuderia’, to express his doubts about the Ferrari project.
Because, let’s not forget, the Monegasques and Verstappen they were great rivals in karting, and now Max, if he wins this World Cup, can have three under his belt since he He’s at Red Bull while Leclerc can hardly add a second.
And the leader of the SF-23 goes to McLaren…
Moreover, not everything surrounding the team invites optimism. David Sanchez, leader of the Sf-23 concept, left the “Scuderia” and Barring a big surprise, it will end at McLaren with Andrea Stella.
This, with the marches of Gino Rosato and Jonathan Giacobazzi, and the doubts that Inaki Rueda on whether or not to continue after being relegated from the racing wall to the remote Maranello garage, only adds to the problems of a team that has long lived in chaos.
Chaos, a constant
That he hasn’t won a drivers’ world championship since 2007, and that he hasn’t tasted anything from manufacturers since 2008. it’s been 15 years already since the last great success of what is, by history, the great team in the entire history of F1.
