After the highly successful era of Michael Schumacher, Scuderia Ferrari managed to take advantage of the abilities of the working group that had developed around the German champion, to win the 2007 world championship with Kimi Raikkonen, thanks to the harakiri of McLaren which resulted from the internal struggle between Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. But for fourteen years the Marabello team has been starving for world championship glory and there was no point in signing champions such as Fernando Alonso – who arrived in Maranello with two titles on the board and stayed there for five seasons – or Sebastian Vettel, who joined the Italian side with four world championships and was also unable to replicate the past successes during the six years at the wheel of the Prancing Horse.

Maybe Ferrari wasn’t ready to be world champion again with me and Sebastian. Now they have changed the way they plan and the expectations are no longer so high, as they race with young drivers ”. Fernando Alonso then concluded: “Now they think more about the long term and not about the short term anymore”.
