Ferrari, the team that once gave their fans five straight driver’s titles, is currently having trouble bringing home the prize. The Scuderia put on a fantastic show last season, but Red Bull’s Max Verstappen trounced Ferrari’s leading driver Charles Leclerc by nearly 150 points. The Prancing Horse had a number of problems, which led to all of this. However, as the team recently tried another strategy, which they intended to use to forget the season and begin a new adventure, they again came out unsuccessful.
