The return to victory was expected by the fans of the Ferrari for 903 days, almost two and a half years, and the double by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz was a ray of hope for the 2022 world fight. his own package, so much so as to seize both pole position and victory in the race, authoritatively advancing his candidacy for the world title. The Red Bull and Mercedes projects seemed immature, the first affected by obvious problems of overall reliability, and the second by a difficult understanding and tuning of the car. In short, the extreme lines do not seem to have paid off in this early part of 2022 and the Ferrari approach seems to be the most profitable so far, with team principal Mattia Binotto assuring that he has already addressed future developments. after analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the promising F1-75.
Among the positive notes is the simplicity della Rossa, a car that manages to go fast as soon as it puts its wheels on the track and that responds easily to changes made by the engineers. And then there is the issue of brakes, as explained by the Corriere dello Sportsigned by Fulvio Solms: “For Ferrari there was a huge and successful job with Brembo. Braking cars heavier than half a quintal, a nonsense in the sport where you save a gram, is a colossal challenge and further complicated by the rule that has limited cooling systems. And here’s what happens around Ferrari: Red Bull suffers, McLaren is on tilt. On the stricter tracks for the brakes – Jeddah, Montreal, Singapore, Mexico, Abu Dhabi – the Reds could have a great advantage “. Finally, the meticulous work carried out by the engineers with the pilots should be underlined. The most striking example was Charles Leclerc’s early braking in Turn 1 during the duel with Max Verstappen, a move that allowed the Monegasque to get out of the corner faster, activate the DRS and regain his position.
