Charles Leclerc was already the driver he needed to be to fight for eventual championships back in 2019. His form in the last competitive Ferrari gives hope that any new competitive Ferrari will vault him right into championship contention immediately. At the same time, Carlos Sainz impressed in his first season with the Maranello team, being able to capitalize on what were the realistic targets given the limits of the SF21 car in 2021. If Ferrari want to compete for a title this year, they can certainly rely on the strongest driver line-up on the grid so it is up to the Italian side to be able to prove Charles and Carlos with a strong car.
Ferrari enjoyed something of a resurgence last season after a dismal showing in 2020, claiming an impressive third-placed finish in the Constructors’ Championship after slipping down to sixth two years ago. They have since been put forward as potential dark horses to shake up the order with the aid of the all-new regulations in place for the upcoming season.

Italian daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport tried to evaluate the expectations and forecasts surrounding the new challenger of the team led by Mattia Binotto:
“[…] If you are wrong, you risk not seeing the ball for many more years. A scenario that in Maranello they do not even want to take into consideration, also because the results gathered in the simulator and in the wind tunnel give confidence. […] The F1-75 […] will have high sides and a zero volume rear pace […]. […] Respects what Mattia Binotto asked […]: dare and work without any prejudice. […] The rear suspension has been redesigned and the transmission has been downsized. […] We worked hard to recover the downforce that the new rules have cut […]. […] Engineers […] focused on Superfast ignition (“speeded up” in the pre-combustion chamber) with the aim of fully recovering the horsepower lost with bio gasoline (10%). The hybrid […] was tested in the last championship, and is therefore an enhanced evolution “. – the Italian daily newspaper reported.
