Scuderia Ferrari is not to be trifled with this season, as they look forward to winning it all. With two capable drivers and a team that is determined to snatch the ultimate glory, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with. The Maranello team won their last championship in 2008 with Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa spearheading the team to claim the constructors’ title. In the subsequent seasons, the Reds saw a gradual decline. However, the team has now undergone several changes and managed to catapult themselves into the top 3 last season.

The Scuderia managed to beat rival McLaren and would look forward to maintaining the winning streak. However, acknowledging their past, they believe that now they can compete with Red Bull and Mercedes. Team Principal Mattia Binotto has been clear about the team’s will and wishes and declared, “I think Ferrari must never sign to finish P2.”

“So as Mattia said, we will try to be up front to fight for victories every race. Then we will see if we managed to do that or not.” Leclerc concluded.

Carlos Sainz, however, finds a fearsome rival in Red Bull. The Spaniard claimed, “I looked a lot at the GPS data, onboards, and the Red Bull seemed a very strong car. You could see Max was at ease. We talked with him yesterday and he seemed confident.”

Both Sainz and Leclerc performed very well last season and will look forward to a title clinch this time around. While Carlos and Leclerc couldn’t win any races in 2021, they managed to finish P5 and P7 in the drivers’ leaderboard, respectively. However, the duo might be looking to change that in 2022. With a commendable F1-75, they now take the fight to the top contenders like Red Bull, and Mercedes. The season has already begun at the Bahrain International Circuit. Who are you backing?
