[Press review] – The first two disappointing races of the 2023 Formula One season led Ferrari to experience a paradox which is difficult to accept: after giving up on the second half of the 2022 Formula 1 championship season in order to focus all the time and resources on this year’s Formula 1 project, now there is already the temptation to look directly to 2024:
“We will win next year” no longer seems to be just the classic moments between the hopeful and the ironic phrases that the Ferrari fans say to each other to comment on the disappointing results of the Maranello team in the last decade, but it has almost become a corporate philosophy and this cannot be acceptable for a team with Ferrari’s history and impressive trophy room. But to get back to competing for the top spot as soon as possible, in Maranello changes will inevitably have to take place. In today’s edition of the Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport, F1 journalist Fulvio Solms underlined how it will probably be necessary to set up a significant transfer campaign in terms of key staff.
Technical director wanted
“We’ll have to go to the other end of the world, after two Sundays in Australia, to look for the first podium of the season: who would have ever thought that this would have been Ferrari’s start in the 2023 Formula 1 world championship? Nor is it enough to resort to the usual comments: we have everything it takes to win; one year ago Red Bull got desperate after two races, but instead we know things went; we just have to work hard and the results will come. […]. In short, enough talk, but is this the actual cause of the problem? […]. […] The issues are […] structural: Ferrari has to invest on the market, definitively freeing itself from the autarkic vision of Sergio Marchionne who wanted to send away the best people in order to make the second lines from Maranello grow. The first move would be to recreate the role of the technical director, given that Ferrari is the only team that no longer has one and has replaced this figure with current ones: first the former team principal Mattia Binotto, today the area manager of the chassis area, Enrico Cardile”. – Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport concluded.
