Can Ferrari win in Saudi Arabia?

The Italian constructors have a rich and successful history in Formula One. But in the past few years, they haven’t been able to dominate and had to satisfy with a mid-table finish. However, the Maranello base shocked Formula One world with their performance in the 2022 season.

Ferrari was impressive in both the pre-season testing in Barcelona and Bahrain. The Italian F1 team continued their impressive form even in the first race weekend. They were not only outstanding in the practice sessions but even in the qualifying. Moreover, on Sunday, the Reds finished 1-2 with Charles Leclerc on P1 and his teammate Carlos Sainz finishing P2. The Maranello base is leading in the constructor’s standings.

After their brilliant performance in Bahrain, Ferrari are the favorites to win the second race as well. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit consists of a lot of long straights and sweeping bends. Looking at Ferrari’s pace this season, there is a huge chance they will dominate in the Saudi Arabian GP too. The Ferrari power unit this season is something to look for; all cars with the Italian engine inside are showing some impressive performance.
