Ferrari issue warning over 2022 Formula 1 pace. Ferrari issue warning over 2022 Formula 1 pace.

Scuderia Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto has been encouraged by the Maranello team’s improvements during the current Formula One championship but at the same time he warned that “we can only wait and see” if the Italian side will be able to get back on top by nailing the rules and regulation for next season.

Scuderia Ferrari has bounced back from its worst season since 1980 in a positive manner, with the Maranello team odds on to end the year third in the constructors’ only to Mercedes and Red Bull after languishing in sixth at the end ot 2020.

While it was difficult for Ferrari to expect more this season given the fact the regulations remained mainly unchanged from last year to this with only limited changes permitted, there is hardly any carryover from this championship to the next one with the sport adapting to radically new aerodynamic regulations.

Despite Ferrari’s progress, Mattia Binotto admitted that only time will tell if Ferrari has taken the right direction for the 2022 Formula One season.

“Looking at the 2022 [changes], we are back at the factory working very hard preparing the new car we can only wait and see when we are back on track at the start of next season. If I look at the race team, which is what we can judge, I think since the start of the season it has made a lot of progress. It has made a lot of progress in terms of strategy, the main we manage conversations with the drivers, we understand what we are doing.” – the Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal explains.

“We have improved a lot in terms of tyre management and again, Qatar is the type of circuit where you are wearing a lot the tyres with the high energy in the corners. think that since Paul Ricard, we have used a lot of methodology into how to do it better. The two drivers always tried to control the pace, never pushed the limit which can be very difficult for them because they can be very keen to push more but we told them always to try and control the pace because there was a risk of wearing out of rubber. Overall I think I am judging the team progress with promise, especially in the view of what we did in Qatar.” – Mattia Binotto said.
