There are no new flags fluttering outside Ferrari HQ and Il Canto degli Italiani has yet to ring out on a Sunday afternoon. so where has it all gone wrong for the Scuderia in 2023... F1 Scuderiaferrari
From unprecedented in terms of speed to where the hell is the podium: Ferrari’s 2023 season has taken a dramatic turn and it’s not for the better.
Instead we, and Ferrari, are left asking where did it all go wrong, because, let’s not beat around the bush, this year’s title quest is already over for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.Such was the disappointment over 2022’s runner-up result in both championships that Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto handed in his resignation days after the season had concluded. It was said to be a case of the Italian jumping before he was pushed.
But changes in personnel weren’t a shock for everyone, at least not Vasseur, with the new team boss billing technical leader David Sanchez’s exit after the Bahrain GP as “people who are very close to Mattia” as well as the natural flow of F1 staff movements. Vigna declared ahead of the SF-23’s launch that the new Ferrari was a “single-seater that will be unprecedented in terms of speed”. It has yet to show even an inkling of that.
“I think with the change of regulation, the cars becoming slower, we thought that this was normal that the car would become a bit more peaky, less downforce,” said Carlos Sainz. “And we thought the targets were going to be okay and we were going to be fast.” He was lapping well behind Max Verstappen and showing no sign of chasing down Sergio Perez when, in a cry of “no, no, no”, his SF-23 lost power and the Monégasque driver pulled over onto the side of the track with his race over.
That the unreliable engines is coupled with an SF-23 that Ferrari say is lacking in driveability, cornering speed, straight-line speed and “everywhere” compared to the Red Bull doesn’t help the situation.And it’s left both Leclerc and Sainz wondering what comes next.
