Ferrari has not been able to win a drivers’ or a constructors’ championship since 2008. The last time the team held both titles was in 2004 in an era where Michael Schumacher completely dominated the sport. To this day, Kimi Raikkonen remains the last driver to win the drivers’ championship with the Italian team in 2007. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is very much looking forward to changing that in the 2022 season.
The Spanish driver, who had an impressive first season with the team, stated that there was not a single member of the team who does not mention the impact that Schumacher had.
