He reminded everyone of the team’s struggles in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The Italian team finished the 2020 season in 6th while they improved in 2021 to 3rd. But they were not competing for wins and championships with Mercedes and Red Bull.
Elkann stated that despite their successful start to the season, they need to keep performing throughout the season.

They cannot afford any slipups, as they have a tendency to get stuck in a rut and make bad decisions. Ferrari and its drivers have made some mistakes in the past that have cost them titles. Hopefully, that will not be the case this time, as the Reds look much more calculated and determined.
They can certainly win both titles this season as they have got arguably the fastest car on the grid with one of the best driver line up. It would be interesting to see if they can finish the 2022 season at an all-time high.
