After a great start to the season where Leclerc won 2 of the first 4 races, his title challenge was cut short by the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. Furthermore, mistakes by their drivers and poor strategic planning from the Maranello team cost them the WCC. They held their nerve in the final race of the season, after a late charge by Mercedes for the P2 position.
Despite improving on last year’s result, Ferrari has had a tough time since the season ended. They recently also announced that team principal Mattia Binotto had resigned from his role and will seek pastures new. The Italian who took charge in 2019 led them and Charles Leclerc to a P2 finish in respective championships.
