The Ferrari F1 team celebrates its 75th anniversary in the sport. Drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will be hoping to push the team closer to the top. In the last few seasons, they have been disappointing, to say the least. With the last victory coming at the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix, the team will be looking to push on from the P3 in the Constructors’ Standings in 2021.

Moreover, Ferrari were impressive in pre-season testing in Barcelona. The car clocked impressive timings close to the likes of Red Bull and Mercedes.
