“It Will Be a Tight Fight”- Dominant Ferrari Weary of Upcoming Red Bull F1 Hazard at Emilia Romagna GP

Ferrari is flying this season with two race wins in the past three races. Now, they are eyeing the next race in Imola, which will be a home race for the Italian F1 team. But team principal Mattia Binotto is being cautious of Red Bull, who are chasing them since Bahrain.

Undoubtedly, the Prancing Horses are among the favorites to win the title this season. They are comfortably leading the constructors’ table with 104 points. Also, the Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc is on the top of the drivers’ standing.

However, the Maranello team is facing a threat from the Milton Keynes-based team. Red Bull has showcased an impressive run since the season opener. Further, reigning champion Max Verstappen even took the lead from Leclerc in Jeddah to win the race. But the Austrians are struggling with reliability issues, which cost them three DNF in the past three races.

But the Ferrari boss knows that the Red Bull will resolve the issue soon and can become a threat to their flying run. Binotto said, “We managed, in difficult track conditions, to arrange the car better than the others. However, I expect a strong Red Bull from the next races. They are pushing and developing. It will be a tight fight.”

Ferrari Boss expecting a reaction from Carlos Sainz

The third race weekend of the 2022 season in Australia has been good and bad for Ferrari. They enjoyed a race win in Melbourne with Charles Leclerc, but their other driver, Carlos Sainz, returned with no points.

Ferrari undoubtedly has one of the best driver line-ups this season. Further, the Ferrari duo showcased outstanding driving in Bahrain. Leclerc and Sainz finished on the podium in the first two races, finishing P1 and P2 in Bahrain and P2 and P3 in Saudi Arabia.

But Australian GP, it was only Leclerc who enjoyed the podium. Because the Spaniard lost his car’s grip and slide through the grass and breached his car into gravel. Ferrari boss Binotto expects Sainz to do better in the next race.

Binotto reported, “I’m sure he will come out stronger from this lesson. Certainly, there is competition with Charles, but it is a stimulus. He will know how to get up. I expect a reaction in Imola.”
