Ferrari has had a rollercoaster season since 2013. Underperforming drivers, the team last won the drivers’ championship in 2007. Frequent changes in the pairings did not help the team on their target of winning the championship.

Come in 2020, Ferrari announced the new young pairing of Carlos Sainz Jr and Charles Leclerc. Furthermore, a change of paint and young vision is set to keep their long-term hopes alive.

The Italians are back at top of the championship with 78 points. They had a 1-2 finish in Bahrain and a double podium finish in Saudi Arabia. It gives the team hope and a sense of urgency for the challenges ahead.
