Ferrari has endured a run of difficult Formula 1 campaigns and has not taken a title since 2008. Ahead of the upcoming season, Ralf Schumacher believes that the Scuderia will endure another year of being out of contention.
Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes Ferrari will not be able to compete for a title this year due to the mistakes made by their drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Though Ferrari started the 2022 season strongly with two wins from Leclerc, they have struggled to challenge Red Bull and Max Verstappen since then. Schumacher mentioned Mercedes and McLaren’s Lando Norris as potential rivals for Red Bull, but did not include Ferrari in that list. He praised Ferrari Team Principal, Fred Vasseur, for the team’s improvement in working together and making fewer mistakes, but still did not view them as top contenders. Schumacher suggested waiting for the first test or the first two races to make a better judgement.
