Why Ferrari is now Red Bull’s biggest F1 threat
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 05. 2024
- Second has always been seen as a failure for a team of Ferrari’s size and ambition. So being best of the rest behind Red Bull so far in 2024 is no cause for celebration.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was Maranello. Ferrari requires sustained, consistent improvement if it is to emerge as a Red Bull-beater.
Ferrari matched its own record of 15 consecutive seasons without an F1 world championship in 2023, but only four races later it has already emphatically pulled clear of the jostling pack to become Red Bull's main threat in F1 2024. Here, we explain how.
00:00 Intro
00:52 Second fastest car
02:18 Tyre trouble tamed
03:35 Peakiness cured
05:08 Operational sharpness
06:48 Development gains needed

As a Ferrari fan, for the first time in years, I don’t have anything to realistically BLAST Ferrari about.
Firing Sainz?
Other than hiring Hamilton 😂
Jeez I wouldn't be too happy about hiring a washed up whiny Hamilton over an up and coming Sainz
They can’t win when red bull doesn’t screw up, that’s blastable ( yeah I make up a word , what of it?) in my book
That's about as much of an endorsement for Ferrari as it gets lately...
Nobody expected it at all, the media spent all winter hyping Mclaren and Mercedes only for Ferrari the 'Basic' car to be comfortbale clear of them
I mean, it did look the most basic. I don't know what kind of sorcery they've done underneath that car.
@@aventusV33 the floor
We still can't be sure that ferrari WILL challenge. It will all depend on upgrades. They started fabulously in 2022 as well but towards the end were only 40ish pts ahead of merc in p3 and 150-200ish points behind red bull
Vasseur or someone from ferrari said that the basic car was a deliberate move so the team can use the opening races to confirm it has fully understood that car concept. A more extreme version is already in the pipeline.
@@sleepypixie8828 that was under binotto lol
There’s something about French Team Principals at Ferrari that just works, isn’t there?
Nothing works yet, so what are you on about
Not unless you replace all the other Italian high profile personnel there.... That's how Schumi got his title
@@kayboypstar4990 You can keep Cardile at least, because he actually seems to know what he’s doing.
@@kayboypstar4990There weren't any Italian high rank personnel back then?
It took jean todt 7 yrs to get first championship. That kind of patience and planning is required of ferrari
If Lewis got his 8th WDC with Ferrari, imma start to eat salad for breakfast
Bet
Count me in!
Ferrari spending more than a billion dollars for that goal 😂
@@everydaydose7779 better be spendin them billions to make me eat a salad
He’s over the hill. Can’t even outpace Russell. No salads for you lol
It’s going to be hilarious if next year we get a battle for the championship, right before the regulations change again 😂😂
Same thing happened in 2021
Won’t happen
Same thing in 2021, 2008, and probably 1997 too.
Every year should be a battle for the championship
@@AzizHabibi28Ferrari was nowhere near Hamilton and Verstappen in 2021 though, they were fighting for 3rd with McLaren isnt it?
Ferrari has definitely closed the gap compared to last year, but Red Bull is on another level. So, they are not a threat for them...yet
Ferrari is neck to neck with RB over one lap, only in certain circuits. Development hasn't reached its aim yet
Hai fatto bene a specificare ( per il momento)
@@ananthu8534 Ferrari aren't even neck and neck with Red Bull over one lap yet. there's been a 3/10ths gap over the first four races.
I remember the videos this channel did with their “experts” 💩 on Ferrari car launch and praised Aston and especially Mercedes.
This channel is all about big talk, slick content, no substance.
They will constantly shit less and less on Ferrari over the course of this year. Since their beloved driver is going there they are now praising Ferrari, unlike in the last 10 years or so. Now they are slowly starting to be critical of Mercedes, albeit slightly since you know Scott’s crush is leaving.
@@meantares They even praised Alpine technical innovations over Ferrari 💀💀💀
@@meantares so why are you here? Seems you like no substance.
The 2020 season vibes are on. If history repeats itself we should have a 2025 title fight, Leclerc championship and rhen Ferrari dominance in 26 regs.
Im fine! I can quit the copium anytime I want!
You don’t have to, as Ferrari fans we have to embrace delusion when given the opportunity 😅
If this is true, you don’t think Hamiltons won’t wake up? We seen Fernando be peak still in his 40s, I’m sure if Hamilton is given the car he’ll fight Charles and Verstappen for a chance. Though all just speculation and reality may be much different
Lewis was P3 in 4th fastest car. 2nd fastest car? 2021 all over again, simply need no FIA intervention this time
It's been night and day with respect to Strategy since Fred joined the team. In every area, they are a better team
Well then, I guess 2025 will be Our Year (tm)? And when it inevitably won't be, 2026 will be Our Year (tm) fosure.
It would be very Ferrari if they get within a few points of catching Red Bull in 2025 and then completely bungle the 2026 aero regs
Actually Ferrari apparently are ahead of every one else looking at 2026 in terms of engine development and other teams are already trying to sabotage them by demanding changes to the rules
atp merc need to take on the mantle of class clown of the grid
@@giuseppemaggio5894 Mercedes are ahead of Ferrari . Corrected that for you.
@@sidharthtirkey44😂😂
@@sidharthtirkey44mercedes is barely ahead of Alpine, not even close to Ferrari
The most conservative looking car they all said turns out to be best of the rest and consistently. It goes to show Ferrari had a good base to start from in these regs compared to the rest and even though 2023 was a setback theyve clearly understood and have a very good platform to work on, we can only see more improvement as the season goes on and this aligns well for 2026 if Ferrari have the best PU along with good aerodynamics
What just find so incredibly pleasing, is that Ferrari had to cough up $446 million dollars for Lewis Hamilton, and they get rid of Sainz that earned a fraction of that number. I just hope Sainz ends up in the right seat next year and beats Ferrari in every single race. I can't help myself, i just want to see that happening .
Sainz and Max 🤝
Lewis was the right decision for ferrari. Firstly, Leclerc is their fav driver and they would have prioritised him instead of Sainz if Sainz wasnt leaving. Secondly, Lewis has 7 titles on his name and has a LOT of experience that will help Ferrari and Leclerc grow and become a better team. Thirdly, their value as a team rised A LOT since they signed Lewis, and even before joining the team he has already made them a lot of money.
@Carmela - bixoxo Sainz will end up in Kick Sauber so he won’t beat Ferrari
woman moment
Well if you know how businesses work you will realize that Carlos was more expensive than Lewis and that's simply thanks to how much Lewis brings.
The share prices alone according to BBC worth 5B$ increase was due to Lewis's move ( 13B$ was total increase but rest 7B$ accorded to BBC was due to their annual profit report)
And also the fact Nike and especially Tommy Hilfiger have already decided to leave mercedes at the end of season tells everything you need to know.
Lewis is a brand he is currently on poer with Ferrari in terms of brand value.
Those ONLY 5 wins are (bar one, that was George Russels) the only wins of the past 2 seasons that Red Bull didn't win. So I'd say they did pretty good.
and that Mercedes win was possibly a Horner 3D Chess move... it put confidence in that failed design which kept Mercedes back another 2 years at least.
lol Red Bull only and biggest threat is themselves. Not Ferrari
Ferrari has caught up big time and they are now the best race car in terms of tyre-ware. RB SHOULD be concerned
Keep those thoughts, I’ll see you mad asf in the comments end of season ;)
@@giuseppemaggio5894 Lol in Suzuka Max was cruising 20 secs up the road Perez was probably cruising too. No one is catching Redbull this season.
@giuseppemaggio5894 when I see Ferrari beat Max on pace then they can worry. RB has a new concept and will only get better
Chris Horner is the real enemy at RedBull
The race: all about the hype…
I have to agree.. Sadly it feels like every time I watch one of their new videos it feels like they spend 10 minutes repeating the same thing, just phrased differently..
@@drummerjuans The need to produce content when nothing interesting is happening.
The start of British hype at Ferrari 🤡
Thank God I unsubbed f this Channel
I love how the past few seasons everyone is like we need to look forward to 202X to try improve to catch RB. There is a constant promise in F1 of oh it will be better in 3+ years time... forgeting that the fans have to sit through the preceding years everyone is writing off.
My only question after this video is why is Ferrari releasing Sainz?
because sainz didn’t perform last 2 years when it mattered last 2 races is not good enough it’s too late for him
Because Ferrari doesn't judge drivers based on 4 races only.
He didnt sign the contract offered so they gave it to Lewis
@@michaeltelfer3483bro they gave him the worst possible offer.
@@isaacm2374lol kid go watch some previous seasons 2021?in a tractor he beat Charles and in 2022 the car was towards Charles so no chance but then in 2023 look how many mistakes charles does basically he has speed and is quick but unreliable when he has the shot at it for eg 2022 fucked himself up. Ferrari were always more towards Charles(their golden boy) than carlos who literally is giving them wins recently.
Edd you were wrong about Ferrari this year!
I just think Sainz having his seat taken is a massive mistake. I hope he finds a good seat next year. He deserves it. Red Bull race pace is still way too strong with Max behind the wheel. Can't see that changing anytime soon.
not really lewis beat carlos on horrible mercedes i think everybody forgot about that

They were in 2022. Their technical department seems to have a good understanding of these regulations, so if anyone can match RB it's Ferrari
Next year could actually be a great year for us, unless they fuck it up like Merc has this year.
This video is music to a Ferrari fanboy, thank you for making the video.. Forza Ferrari!!
Almost all other team changed their philosophy. Ferrari didn't so they understood their cars more.
But RBR and Max are still far ahead of everyone so it don't really matter, just wait for 2026 to see who will dominate the next regulation.
Link to the background music? I love it :)
I’d be so surprised if the the-race ever comes up with actual insight that isn’t completely visible to the entire universe
What if in 2022 because there was a lot of poles there was deg when leclerc was pushing (maybe too much) compared to max and now they are in 2nd row and if they push there would be signs of deg?
how is that any different from e.g. 2017 or 2018 whem they were 2nd to the Mercs?
Also helps that Sainz drivrs out of his mind atm!
I have questions re. the tire deg numbers 🤔
Fred is better than Binnoto. ANYTHING can be better than Binnoto.
Let's just hope that Adami and Xavi improve lmao.

@@ltdada74 💀🗿
Great video guys. Ferrari's biggest weakness for the last couple of years was without doubt their tyre management and therefore race pace and it seems they have fixed this issue, even going so far as making it a relative strength (based on the evidence of leclercs tyre management in Suzuka). I don't think the constructors will be so easy for red bull this year, sure they have the quickest car but Ferrari have a stronger overall driver line up.
That tyre management during the race was superb. Good job Carlos and Charles! The team did everything they could in Japan, with what they had to work with, so proud of them! 👏 ❤🇮🇹 Forza C² ❤❤💪🏽💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤
The italian camo being priced higher than the reverse grinch on release is crazy to me.
Now that they have a good foundation and are building in the right direction in typical Ferrari fashion they will fire Vassuer at the end of this season
you ve saying that all year long but i don't see them catching if it is for drs power or engine boost...
I want to see the DHL Slowest Pitstops...wonder who that would be?😊
Their team name sounds like a bit of meat from a cow
Finally Sauber could win something this year!
Medium rare f1 team of course
Good video and pleased Ferrari and McLaren are the next best. Sure RB are well ahead but, as the closest team on their heels, they get the advantage when RB have a bad day. McL maybe able to improve this year to threaten second place, but not Merc and AM (despite the hype and BS from TW).
Wow Edd, did you work this out all by yourself?
Finally a positive Ferrari video using an English accent
Now I wanna see the video highlighting mclaren and their title droughts
you are the yapper king fr
Meanwhile, Verstapen keeps winning by a 15+ second difference per race.
Let me sup it up for you: max RB20 was sporting big updates. It was using a brand new Pu while sainz was at his 4th GP with it. Suzuka is track that perfectly suits the RB20 characheteristics. Max ran all his race in clean air while sainz didnt…. Put all these together, and finishing only 20sec behind max is bad news for RB
@@dunbar555 Wait? Are giving cred to Sainz for being left behind.
@@dunbar555 Winning by a 20 second difference is now considered bad news in F1. lol
Lots of hopium. The facts are that Verstappen has 4 poles and 3 wins in 4 races. Including the last race.
And he would have won the in Australia too if not for the DNF. I hope these Ferrari/Lewis stans had an idea of what Max and RBR are going to do to them this season lol
well, lets be real, there will be a point in which Redbull will summit their develpment curve and Ferrari will keep developing their car...so theorically Ferrari is the closest to reach them, is just a matter of how soon. This year on next decade? lol
@@quierover4locasi don't think so redbull are still testing their new concept on their car while the ferrari are much more in the blueprint of the last year car of redbull
@@khel9505 is it? the ferrari has a pull rod suspension.. the Redbull has and has always had push rod, thats one of the many differences they have. Maybe from a simplistic point of view it could look like a similar car, but the concepts are definitely different, also, this is the ground effect era, the majority of the aero effect comes from the bottom of the floor, which we very seldom see. Thats why so many people get confunsed about zero pod concepts and stuff like that.
Redbull implements a small vertical slit concept "oh look the redbull has a no sidepods like the original mercedes, NEWEY made it work, he is a GENIUS!!!!!, Toto must be Furious...." pffff
Ferrari should’ve been expected to be the 2nd best team they ended it that way last year and mclaren fell off
LH winning the drivers championship in Red next year would be some TEA!! 😆
at the start of 2022 Ferrari didn't particularly suffer from degradation. MIAMI was the worst culprit but generally it perfomed well until the TD. on top of the first few races, Silverstone, Barcelona, Austria, Hungary (practice) are all good examples..
God this channel is good. Always delivers illuminating, precise, insights
That side pode adjustment has to be at least 60% why the tyres are lasting longer
2017-2018 was like this back then against Mercedes, but we all know how this is going to end...
You can really make the case for the only bad take of Vasseur is signing Ham for Sai
you love to hear it😌
Remember after the car reveal everyone said the car was "basic" while gushing over the Mercedes hahahaha
Its like 2022 again . Not going under another hype especially from the red camp unless they beat rb on merit !
As a ferrari fan, it’s great to see all those being quiet and actually respecting the scarlet red this season.
Just like my neighbors cat threatens me!! 😂
Why are we getting rid of our best performing driver, question?
For now... we'll see come the end of the season.
We are checking
Ferrari have had multiple championship winning capable cars, many times with the fastest overall pace. Actually their biggest problems were their strategy and management calls - not the car.
8th in making..thanks to Fred..
They do be cooking
I think if this consistency goes on for the few years then Ferrari can be champion again but as Ferrari is always an inconsistent team so it can be a moment for one year and they fail again. So, they need to be consistent in their performance.
Yes, Ferrari is in second place. Much like a one-legged man is in second place in a 2-man ass kicking contest.
Fair play to Ferrari for actually showing some progress
2 years ago I was Ferraris biggest critic and thought they were laughable but I have to say Freddy has done the best job he could have possibly done. I wasn't aware of how great a team principal he is. Why was he wasting his time at Stake or whatever it's called?
I think we will see Ferrari win the championship in 2025 or 2026.
'Best place non-redbull'. 😢
I hope everyone figures out their car so we can have exciting races again.
Just add a pissed off Lewis and this could get really interesting... :D
"it's been a while since Ferrari did something really baffling" What, You mean like, signing a has-been in favour of a top driver with at least 10 years left on his clock who also seems to get on well with their golden boy Leclerc wasn't baffling?
you failed to mention the reason Ferrari pulled the one stop was because of the extended SC
I guess Mattia Binotto did a great job setting the stage for someone else to push Ferarri further.
P.S.: Not know if The Race was one of them, but Alonso re-signed at Aston for 2 years. So no Red Bull or quit.
Freddy V gettin’ it done.
When weren’t they in this era of car?
We've seen it before in 2022. Are we going to see a repeat of it again?
They praise us now and then punch us in the face. We're used to it
I just want to know if the rumors of Newey following Hamilton to Ferrari are even possible.
Not a chance rest thyself
Yes, and I heard Max will move to Ferrari and spend two years as their reserve driver until Lewis retires.
@@TXJ232 savage hehehe
@@TXJ232See, now THAT isn't even hypothetically possible 😂
Never say never
Grear strategy call Fred. Baffle us with Sainz expulsion.
i dont think it was his call, it is very likely Lewis' reps went higher up in the ladder.
Crazy how so quickly we forgot Ferrari had the best car at Australia
did they? Before max' car let go he had pulled a second on sainz. How can you say that when max was out??
@@filipecardozohe never pulled a second on Sainz.
@@illyricus.I think he started lap 2 safe from Sainz's DRS.
@@soundscape26 the actual gap right when Sainz crossed the finish line to start the 2nd was 0.9 seconds. Even Crofty mentions it. Maybe not that close, but close enough to be in drs range.
@@illyricus. Alright, maybe I'm remembering it wrong. It was all too brief before his break disk went to hell.
its not a threat .... we have no idea of true pace of Max in that RB. For Checo coming so close to him - car is likely bigger window than RB19 .. plus upgrades coming.
The biggest unknown right now is still McLaren, For all the good work of Ferrari, They're still the ones showing flashes of pace (especially over 1 lap) ahead of them at certain tracks, much like Ferrari have shown flashes ahead of Red Bull in Australia. it's all close for best of the rest, but If McLarens updates deliver even half of last seasons steps (from a low baseline, admittedly), then they'll probably still be Red Bulls biggest outright threat at certain tracks by a decent margin. Until Ferrari show they can at least keep up in a development race, they probably won't have Red Bull too worried outside of the odd race here and there when they don't quite dial the car in.
So, they actually introduced a new car design that fixed or at least improves from last year's faults ?
Merc take note
Ferrari is not a threat. They are a serious competitor.
All i ask for is ferrari winning the constructors championship.
I don’t see a world where dropping Sainz is a plus for Ferrari. Hamilton can drive, but Sainz has been putting on a hell of a show. At best they break even but I doubt Hamilton is going to suddenly be fighting for wins every race again just because he’s in a Ferrari now.
But hey, maybe he’ll surprise me, I sure hope so.
Nobody is a thereat to Red Bull until they can prove over several races they are capable of beating Verstappen in a straight up race...no DNFs. no Max's car getting damaged, etc. Max has taken large grid penalties and wins races.
Delulu is high, Max is 20s ahead and cruising, he set fastest lap close to end of the race. Theres plenty more Max can push.
Nope, you don't know that for sure. You have to deal with degradation. Every single driver could drive faster than they do, but degradation Is your enemy and you have to keep the target time.
So... We don't know how much pace Verstappen can keep hidden rght now. Maybe nothing as the same as every other drivers.
Cope @@pakoottox262
Alonso just signed with AM again. Any insights?
Probably, but less insightful. You know, British media hate Alonso.
I wont be soo pessimistic about this year, yes very unlikely to win drivers championship, but we can probably figthing for contrunctors and almost certain we will se some win in red by the end of the season, not just 1 or 2.
God I love Edd Straw
Its all relative. Looking good all weekend and still finishing 20s behind number one…. Congrats you’re the biggest threat.

In your dreams mate
where in the world are you getting that half-billion dollar valuation for hamilton?
The only reason Ferrari is up the grid it is because of Sainz instead of the questionable track side decisions. So keep hoping on Leclare who is visable number 2 driver. Sainz gone will allow him a chance to shine.
sainz is number 2 driver
Fascinating how much bs can be written into so few words. Truly impressive
Leclerc destroyed Sainz in the last half of 2023, including 7 front row starts in a row until Melbourne, and thats why he beat him. Hes messed up two quali sessions and hes suddenly 2nd driver? He had the best tyre wear of anyone in the last 3 races.
@@dylanburston7453lec always fights Sainz more than other rivals lmao.
@@aniket1816 Like when? The only example is Monza last year, when RB was clear of them, and they were clear of everyone else, so they had nothing to lose.
I am still surprised that people believe in Mercedes. It was just the engine. And now that they need more they are back to pre split turbo days. Facts stay facts.
Don't forget, they reactivated Micheal Schuhmacher to get their team going. They had back then no clue why are they not nr1. And today they have no clue too.
This is just another way of saying, Next year is ours. 😂
This is why you need a non-Italian in charge, I've been saying it for years 😊
Lewis always makes the right decisions when to leave for a new team at the right time
Doing it once is hardly a pattern. Still, I hope you're right.
They are averaging 21.54 seconds behind max in the races he finished. That’s .404 seconds per lap behind.
They need to pick up almost a half second to match RB, good luck passing max with a car equal to his.
I know it’s more fun to pretend it’s close, but it’s not. And RB has a higher ceiling because they already maxed out the “standard” configuration under these regs last year, and have moved on to a new concept this year.
but why do you complain, isn't it their job to hype people out? The Race is an F1 news channel, do you want them to make a RB dominance video every day? Ferrari was critized for having suspension different than everyone else at the beginning of the year, and now look at their tire deg... Ferrari definitely probed wrong a lot of haters about that, out of all teams they are definitely the closest to Redbull.
@@quierover4locas I see you don't know what the word "news" means. Hint: it doesn't mean hype.
