Facing a 17-year title drought, the team that embodies Formula One is slowly rebuilding itself, but hoping for a shock result on home soil.
Yet the prospect of either driver giving the tifosi the victory they dream of this weekend looks remote. 2023 has been a sobering and largely confusing year for Ferrari, which has regressed in its bid to end its championship drought.
. After studying where things went wrong through the back half of 2022, Ferrari hoped to come out strong, fueling optimism with a February unveiling of the SF-23 car in front of the official Ferrari fan club. This year’s high points, like Leclerc’s sprint and grand prix poles in Baku and his podium in Austria, have been offset by trickier races – like Miami, where Leclerc crashed in qualifying, and last week at Zandvoort,“When I look at the first part of the season, we missed too many opportunities,” Vasseur said. “It means we have to do a better job on this one to be much more opportunistic in the second part of the season.
“Next year’s car will not be an evolution like this year’s car has been compared to last year’s car, but it will be a brand new car – different chassis with different design, different rear end to allow our aero [department] to better develop the car to achieve their targets.”Vasseur has been clear he sees Ferrari’s turnaround as a long-term project.
Monza has produced some upsets in recent years. Pierre Gasly’s win for AlphaTauri in 2020 makes Red Bull’s sister team the most recent Italian team to win on home soil, while Daniel Ricciardo scooped a surprise victory for McLaren the following year. It could make for more surprises and maybe some opportunities for Ferrari to snare a breakthrough result.
