will dominate Max Verstappen Formula 1 with an iron fist in the coming years? This is what his father believes, Joseph Verstappenand the 2016 champion, Nico Rossberg. Both agree that there will be no possible rival between the drivers or the teams to compete with Red Bull.
Charles Leclerc, with his Ferrari, he could be one of those rivals. Precisely they have asked the Monegasque about it in the preview of the Mexican Grand Prix. “I will do my best to make sure that doesn’t happenAnd the team is also working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
He is clear about what needs to change at Ferrari: “For us it is clear where we need to improve, we are good in qualifying, at one lap, but we don’t know how to manage the tires during the races”.
“We are working on itfor a long time, and we hope that the results will be visible from the beginning of next season”, comments the driver of the Maranello team.
Strategy errors… and communication. This is what Leclerc believes: “Looking at the season, the setback was not just tire management, we made strategic mistakes, there were communication problems.”
In recent races we have tried to prepare as well as possible to be able to fight with Max and Red Bulland at this moment I am confident that we can beat them, because we are working hard and I am sure we are going in the right direction”, said the Monegasque driver.
Ferrari has been a long, long way from Red Bull. He competed at the beginning of the season, but it faded as the races went on. The differences have ended up being abysmal. Blushing even. And in 2023 they will have another chance to fight for the title. The last time a driver in red was proclaimed champion was Kimi raikkonen back in 2007.
