Ferrari ended their season scraping the bottom of the midfield, a result we never thought the team would end up with. The Maranello team finished the 2019 season in P2 with 504 points, and this season they finished in a lowly P6 with just 131 points. The sheer difference in points is enough to highlight their sudden downfall.

2020 witnessed Ferrari’s worst performance since 1980. The team has now been working around the clock to begin the journey of their comeback. Ferrari’s ex-team principal and the new Formula 1 boss, Stefano Domenicali, is convinced there will be no repetition of 2020.

He said, “I am expecting them to be better than last year for sure. [Because] they had the time to at least work on the engine.”

Domenicali acknowledges Ferrari’s difficult time, but hopes they make a comeback this season.

“And I think even Toto [Wolff] would like to see Ferrari and Christian [Horner] would like to see Ferrari fighting for the championship.”

The Maranello team have been a successful leader of the sport for a long time. Domenicali understands the important tradition and legacy of Ferrari in Formula 1. The team also plays an important role to help market the sport.

Domenicali is looking forward to Ferrari’s comeback. However, the current Ferrari boss, Mattia Binotto, stated that the team’s aim is to get back into the top three. He clarified that a title win this season is unrealistic.

Ferrari has a new drivers’ line up going into 2021. Carlos Sainz will drive alongside Charles Leclerc and hope that these young guns will help the team climb back the championship ladder. The team is keeping their expectation real and trying to improve their car’s performance for the upcoming season.
