Ralf Schumacher doubts Ferrari will be able to muster a challenge for the F1 2024 title because their drivers regularly make “silly mistakes”.
In the 2023 season, Ferrari was unable to stop Max Verstappen and Red Bull from winning both world championships, although Carlos Sainz was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a Grand Prix. It was a disappointing season overall for Ferrari, as they could not build on their failed 2022 title bid and were beaten by Mercedes for second place in the constructors’ championship. Michael Schumacher, speaking on the Formula For Success podcast, suggested that Sainz and Charles Leclerc made too many errors, such as spinning off or crashing. While Ferrari is improving under team principal Fred Vasseur, Schumacher does not see them as the biggest contender for the title, instead believing that Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, and Lando Norris have a better chance of challenging Verstappen.
