Ferrari Boss Takes Veiled Dig at Rule Changes of the 2022 F1 Season

The Ferrari F1 team saw a turnaround in 2021 after a disastrous 2020 campaign. And many people are betting their bucks on the ‘Red Team’. They are convinced Ferrari will perform admirably in the all-new 2022 season. That includes McLaren driver Lando Norris and Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
However, Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari’s son and 10% owner of the company, Piero Ferrari, is still not sure of how it will play out for the Maranello team, or any other team, for that matter.
The duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc will look to take the historically rich team back to the top. Ferrari recently announced they will name their 2022 car F1-75. They did this in honor of the 75th anniversary of Enzo Ferrari starting the Scuderia’s first engine.
