Ferrari have not been able to win the constructors’ title since 2008. They have come close many times since then but have not managed to win the championship. Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto believes that Mercedes have been the dominant force in the last decade as they had more resources.

Mercedes have won every single constructor’ and drivers’ title since 2014. They have dominated the sport in the Turbo-hybrid era despite some stern challenges from the Italian team in the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Ferrari team boss analyzes the team’s title challenges since 2008

The Italian team was able to challenge the mighty Mercedes for the first time in 2017 and got even closer to win in 2018. But they fell back in the 2019 season and were out of contention the following year. Binotto gave his analysis on Ferrari’s failed title challenges in the recent past.

“In 2017, we interpreted better than all the new regulations. We grew further in 2018, but in 2019 we made perhaps too ambitious a leap. In any case, we took three wins and nine poles, finishing second in the championship. “ Said Binotto.

In 2020 there were some regulatory clarifications on the engines that had a very important impact on us and then, due to the freeze imposed by Covid, we were unable to correct those weaknesses of the car that emerged at its debut.” mentioned the Ferrari team boss.

The Italian team have regained some lost ground this season as they are fighting for P3 with McLaren. But they would hope to challenge for the title in the 2022 season.
