The first race of the 2022 Formula 1 season, apart from the Leclerc-Sainz double that dyed the Bahrain podium red, showed a Ferrari first force on the grid for competitiveness. It is true that the one-two was facilitated by the retirement of Max Verstappen, but Sainz would still have managed to get on the podium by clearly beating Sergio Perez. Furthermore, the Leclerc-Verstappen comparison, both in qualifying and in the race, showed that the F1-75 currently has nothing to envy to the RB18. Without mentioning the other rivals, starting with the Mercedes W13, for the moment very far in terms of performance from the benchmark represented by the single-seater from Maranello.
However, no one can for the moment question anything about the regularity of the car brought to the triumph by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz last Sunday. In view of the Saudi Arabian GP, which will be held on the Jeddah circuit next weekend, the International Federation has in fact communicated the outcome of the traditional post-tender inspections carried out on the various single-seaters. The Ferrari of the Madrid native, drawn by lot from the FIA among the top ten classified for “thorough physical inspections “. This is a routine procedure carried out after each race on one of the cars finished in the points area.
The F1-75 # 55 passed every check without any problems. “Physical inspections included bodywork, wheel covers, rims, and front and rear wheel fasteners. All components inspected were found to comply with the Formula 1 2022 technical regulations “reads the note signed by Jo Bauer.
