Ferrari is the most successful team in Formula 1 history. From the legendary Niki Lauda to the seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher, they have produced champion drivers. However, the last driver to win the Championship in a Ferrari car is Kimi Raikkonen back in 2007. A 15-year drought amid Mercedes’ dominance hurt the Prancing Horses. And now their hopes lie on the young Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari has started the 2022 season in a pulsating fashion. The first two races have already seen 4 podiums and a race win in Bahrain. As a result, the team is the early season favorites to win the Championship. Team Principal Mattia Binotto has backed Charles Leclerc to win a championship when the young Monegasque signed with Ferrari.
