After Shaming Ferrari as “First of Losers”, CEO Accepts Gloomy Fate With the Charles Leclerc Silver Lining

Ferrari has put up a lot of effort to maximize the potential of their SF23. The team hasn’t, however, established its exact plans for delivering the results. In light of this, the Maranello-based team, which has won the most constructor’s championships in the history of Formula 1, has frequently come under criticism. Recently, the Scuderia has come under fire for celebrating their P3 finish at the Belgian Grand Prix. And now, after shaming Ferrari as the first of the losers last year, the team’s CEO appears to have accepted the team’s fate. However, while doing so, he has pointed out of silver lining to have the Monegasque, Charles Leclerc, on the team’s side.

Charles Leclerc had already dubbed this season as the worst when it began with only one finish through the first three races. Additionally, it appears that the intra-team conflict has increased tension in the team. In light of this, Ferrari was relieved when Leclerc finished on the podium at the Ardennes after a terrible race at the Hungarian Grand Prix when the team could have used the slow turns but failed to do so.

The side has already received a sarcastic response after witnessing them be content with the podium. However, now the CEO of the team has surfaced to share his opinions. Nevertheless, before delving any further into the most recent developments, it is important to remember the CEO’s response to Ferrari’s second-place finish the last year.

Benedetto Vigna, the team’s CEO, showed his dissatisfaction by citing, “I said it after the last quarter, I am not satisfied with second place because second is first of the losers,” after the Ferrari had placed the crucial races from the previous season on a platter and delivered them to Max Verstappen. These comments might have come considering that the second place didn’t do justice to the legacy of Ferrari, as Vigna further remarked, even though he acknowledged the progress, “I’m happy with the progress we’ve made. I’m not happy with second place.”

Nonetheless, after 12 races, the man has come to the light yet again, but this time, he has highlighted Charles Leclerc’s silver lining as per Gazetta.it he said, “In some recent races, like last weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, we have seen some signs of improvement,” the CEO pointed out about the Monegasque’s P3. Later he added, “Clearly, we want to continue to improve and we are working day and night to make our car more competitive”, the executive said during a call on half-year results with financial analysts.

Ferrari has shown their excellence in qualifying, but they still have to put on a stunning performance on Sundays. And while the side still remains confused about the right direction, a former F1 champion has now shown them a way out.

Ferrari receives a secret from a former F1 champion on how to unleash the beast of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc

In reality, Ferrari is in a predicament wherein both of its team’s drivers are about to begin their final seasons of working with the organization. And while both drivers are being associated with the other potential team, Ferrari is stuck in a rut. While discussing the on-track circumstances, Leclerc did give the team a positive note with his performance at the Belgian Grand Prix.

However, as a result of Leclerc’s emotional rollercoaster of a season, the Maranello-based team has fallen short of the ultimate aim. Mika Hakkinen, a two-time winner, has now come straight with a secret. The team should give its drivers a vehicle suitable for a battle, according to Finnish Driver, and should support them both irrespective of the outcomes.

Hakkinen stated, citing Gazzetta Dello Sport and motorsports.com, “When your car is difficult to drive the possibility of making mistakes is higher. The two Ferrari drivers are always on the limit. Leclerc and Sainz are not rookie drivers who have to learn. But it is true that, having never won a World Championship, they have more pressure on their shoulders. But they are two great drivers who just need support. When those two have a car up to scratch they will achieve incredible results.”
