Ferrari competed for the championship… until the middle of the year. From there max verstappen it was unreachable. Charles Leclerc, the one that had been his rival to date, ended up deflating with a Ferrari that went from more to less in this 2022 season.
The Monegasque, second in the Drivers’ World Championship, is clear that he made “two very costly mistakes”. This is how ‘Racing News 365’ collects it: “I have always talked a lot about my mistakes. There were two especially this year that they were very expensive and with whom I lost points”.
Of course, the Monegasque does not talk about what these two errors have been. Several committed during the year. Also the team. From the wall they carried out wrong strategies. Also, the slow pit stops didn’t help either.
“I’m happy with my season, I think it’s been very good. Last year, especially in the second part of the season, I had a lot of problems, so I changed some things this year that were for the better,” added Leclerc.
He claims that Verstappen has been “flawless”: “Max and Red Bull have been almost flawless this season, they have done an incredible job. They fully deserve to win the title.”
The engine, “a bomb”
Ferrari is working on the development of the next car and there is a lot of optimism in Maranello. Guenther SteinerHaas boss, commented on what the engine would be like: “I met with Binotto. He told me that his engine for 2023 is going to be a bomb”.
“If it’s competitive it will be good for us because it will mean our power unit will be strong as well,” he said.
