“Why Lying at This Point”: Fed Up Tifosi Abandon Hope Despite Ferrari’s Ambitious Claims Ahead of Saudi Arabian GP

Ferrari has been wanting for a long time to be great again. When they were faced with the opportunity to do so last year, they miserably fell short of converting it into their face. With an overhaul, new zeal, and promises, they stepped into 2023. While the dream was rather short-lived and blew up in flames quite literally with Charles Leclerc having engine problems right in the first race, Tifosi now have a harder time trusting the promises made by the scarlet team.

The Bahrain circuit saw the obvious unfold with an exception of Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso placing himself in front of the Ferraris and Mercedes. Red Bulls were the fastest and their main competitor from last year Ferrari was struggling even more after a crucial strategic call during the qualifying.

In F1 Nation Podcast, Marc Gene said, “One another strong point for Ferrari is we are very fast on the straight. You could see we managed to defend from Aston from Mercedes. In the past Ferrari was very weak on that respect. For me Jeddah is very important because it’s a high-speed track.”

He added, “I think our cars should be very strong there. That’s my personal feeling. But yeah Red Bull… on qualifying we can be them, Charles could have gotten pole. But the tyre degradation is unbelievable. Today they were managing it. We know they’re hard to beat but it’s only the first of the 23, a long way to go.”

While Jeddah promises better days for ahead, the fans don’t seem to buy that narrative with the Aston threat lurking close now.

Fans throw the wet blanket over for Ferrari’s optimism

The Tifosi can be called the most patient tribe in the world, as the team has not really lived up to the love the fans have given them. But they are now running out of patience. Have a look at their comments below:
