“Will Be a Matter of Time” – Former F1 Driver Warns Ferrari Over Inevitable Mercedes Resurgence

The Ferrari F1-75 is flying in this current Formula 1 season. They would literally too, if it wasn’t for the downforce, such is the pace in the car. Both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are making the most of it. Charles has outperformed his teammate so far. And Sainz’s horrific Australian Grand Prix did not help his case or the team.

Ferrari might be miles away from the competition at the moment. But that is no excuse to be complacent. We all know the competition from Mercedes and Red Bull is stiff and can sneak up on them anytime during the season.

Ferrari is strong, but for how long?

Both Ferrari drivers have raced incredibly in the opening three races. The Ferrari is the strongest of the lot. That is the reality, but for how long? We all know the quality, money, and infrastructure both Mercedes and Red Bull possess.

Speaking on the same former Formula 1 driver, Gerhard Berger said, “In Red Bull they are great fighters , they are veterans of 2021. very tight. Engine troubles don’t help them, but their performance is good. As for Mercedes, it has people, money and infrastructure to catch up. It will be a matter of time“

Let’s talk about Mercedes as well. With an exceptionally underwhelming car, the Mercedes duo has done a decent job so far. The Mercedes has a major porpoising issue, which they can’t seem to solve. However, the duo of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have finished in points in all three races. But with their current pace, they will never get close to Ferrari.

In the opening three races of the current season, only Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has picked a fight and won against the Scuderia. However, Red Bull’s persistent reliability issues with the car have cost them important points. Max has retired his car on two separate occasions out of the three races. His teammate, Sergio Perez, has already done the same once. Red Bull will find a solution to this problem soon. But only time will tell if they will rectify it before it’s too late in the season.

Giving hope to the faithful

“Ferrari had already taken a big step forward in terms of the power unit last year, now they have made another one and have created a very reliable car, equipped with a great chassis. She is finally back to fight for the title, sooner than I expected.” Berger’s words here perfectly sum up the feelings of the Tifosi.
