Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has conceded that other teams “run more smoothly” than the Italian marque in F1 amid its continued championship drought.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna acknowledged that other teams are performing better in Formula 1 than Ferrari due to their operational efficiency. Despite Ferrari’s historic success with 31 titles, they have faced challenges since 2008 leading to a championship drought. In 2019, a technical ruling resulted in Ferrari losing its engine advantage for 2020 and 2021, further impacting their performance. Despite a close battle with McLaren last season, Ferrari has struggled to secure wins this season with drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Vigna emphasized the need for a cohesive and united approach to improve Ferrari’s performance and achieve success in the remaining races of the season. Despite the setbacks, Vigna remains optimistic about Ferrari’s ability to compete and aims to address the challenges faced in the current season.
