Do Ferrari already want to begin considering extra about subsequent season than the present one?
Considerably disappointingly they in all probability know already that the 2023 automotive is rarely going to beat the Crimson Bull over a full season. I believe Ferrari are going to have a battle on their arms to come back second.
However perhaps second or third doesn’t actually make a lot distinction although within the better scheme. As others have stated Vasseur will hope to cause them to one thing extra aggressive in 2024. Phil Norman (@Phil-f1-21)
