It has been an agonizingly long wait for the passionate Tifosi, the loyal fans of Scuderia Ferrari, as they commemorate the passing of an entire year since the team’s last triumphant victory in F1. The wounds are still fresh, and the scar of disappointment continues to haunt the hearts of the Ferrari faithful. With each passing race weekend, the absence of that familiar rostrum appearance becomes increasingly glaring, leaving the Tifosi in a state of disillusionment and yearning for past glories.

Rewind to this month last year, and you’ll find Charles Leclerc driving Ferrari to a brilliant win at the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix. That day, Leclerc showcased pure skill and excellence, guiding his Ferrari to the top spot on the podium. Fans around the world rejoiced as the Prancing Horse crossed the finish line, triumphantly returning to its cherished podium.

Fast forward to the present, the contrast couldn’t be starker. Despite the high hopes and anticipation, Ferrari’s race at Silverstone 2023 and the season has been a pale shadow of its former glory. The Italian team, a bastion of motorsport history, has since last year failed to achieve a race win. The words of Helmut Marko, Red Bull‘s advisor, resonate ominously. He once commented, “In Formula 1, you’re only as good as your last race.” For Ferrari, their last race and indeed the last twelve months have been nothing short of a chastening reality check.
