Way ahead for the Ferrari F1 team

Ferrari performed close to their potential in the 2021 F1 season, finishing third in the constructors’ standings. This season comes with a major overhaul in the rules and unpredictability through and through. Many F1 insiders believe Ferrari will compete at the front in 2022, However, Piero Ferrari differs from the view.

He believes the new season comes like a clean slate and there is little room for speculations. Piero Ferrari is still not sure of how it will play out for the Maranello team, or any other team, for that matter.

“The rules have not been modified, but have been rewritten. I read them, but it was really hard for me to understand them,” said the Italian boss. “I saw the model in the wind tunnel. What caught my eye? Let’s wait for the 17th,” he said to finish.

The teams will be back on the grid for the pre-season testing later this month. Many fans expect a turnaround on the grid in the next season. Do you think Ferrari will compete for wins and podiums regularly in 2022? Tell us your predictions in the comment section below.
