Max Verstappen enjoyed a highly dominant Formula 1 campaign as he won 19 out of the 22 Grands Prix en route to a third World Championship.
Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur acknowledges that Max Verstappen was the only driver who maintained a consistent performance throughout the Formula 1 season, while others experienced ups and downs. Verstappen’s dominance led him to win 19 out of the 22 races, securing his third championship. Ferrari had hoped to challenge Red Bull for the title after a successful previous season, but struggled to compete at the front. Their highlight of the year came in the Singapore Grand Prix, where Carlos Sainz claimed their only victory. However, Sainz’s campaign ended disappointingly in 18th place at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Vasseur believes that despite the setbacks, the team made progress overall and needs to analyze the reasons behind their poor performances. He emphasizes that every driver, except Verstappen, faced challenges and fluctuations in their form throughout the season due to the competitiveness of the field.
