  • The 2014 Formula 1 season was the beginning of a new era for the sport. With a massive overhaul of the technical regulations, Mercedes would become the benchmark while Ferrari struggled throughout the year. The Ferrari F14T is one of Ferrari's most disappointing cars. Ferrari fans had high hopes for the new era, with some notable designers on board and a driver paring of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, there was reason to be optimistic. But in the background, Ferrari's structure fell apart. While Ferrari poached legendary designer Adrian Newey, figures high up within the team resigned and others were replaced which proved to be unhelpful during such an unstable season. Ferrari would eventually part ways with Fernando Alonso at the end of the season and 4x World Champion Sebastian Vettel would join for the 2015 season. This video will explain why 2014 was such a bad year for Ferrari. Enjoy!

    I wouldn't say 2014 was a year to forget for Ferrari.
    If anything, it's a year to *remember* . If you don't learn from your mistakes, you can't improve. Without 2014, Ferrari never would've properly restructured the team and create the later cars that would win races again and would once again come very close to winning a title. I'm sure that 2014 has also contributed to an eerie silence now which wasn't around for a good 25 or so years.
    For those who still remember Ferrari's abysmal 1992-1993 seasons, which spilled over up until 1995 to 6 shall we say, Ferrari underwent a similar process which allowed them to reach the top again in the late 90s and for much of the 2000s. Who knows, we may see something very similar from next years onwards if the stars *finally* align. Same goes to McLaren, by the way.

    Fully blaming it on Alonso's "temperament" is wrong and incredibly myopic. There were many issues in that team and Alonso's "temperament" was the least of them. Watch the documentary of Alonso's last race with Ferrari (its very candid) and you will see that he was actually well liked by the team. So much that many in his crew including his race engineer, Andrea Stella, left Ferrari to join him at Mclaren. Rob Smedley, Massa's engineer also says that contrary to what people think, Alonso was not disruptive or toxic.
    Many times Alonso was his own pit wall. Something that Former Ferrari Sporting Director Massimo Rivola recently revealed. Rivola said "Many times Alonso made those of us on the pit wall feel like idiots because he could see beyond. We were in front of our computers, he was doing another job, but he understood things before the others. Nobody read races like him."
    Development of the cars were slow. The team took too late to develop the aero components for the 2014 cars because they didn't even have a wind tunnel to test it and had to borrow Toyota Cologne's wind tunnel. The development stalled but I fully believe that Domenicali leaving was the last straw for Alonso. Alonso and Stefano worked well together but when Stefano Domenicali resigned and was replaced by inept Marco Mattiacci, Alonso became the defacto leader because Mattiacci had zero experience in F1. Alonso was questioning Mattiacci's decisions and Marco didn't like that the team were listening to Alonso more than him. Montezemolo wasnt happy that Alonso was vocal about Ferrari's problems but in all honesty, Alonso didn't need to complain publicly because it was apparent to all how badly Ferrari had fallen. Alonso didn't even outright complain and it was more cheeky throwaway lines. Alonso had made the decision not to continue his contract and requested to be released from it early. Ferrari agreed. But instead of fixing their issues, Ferrari removed the one thing that was working for them--Alonso. According to motorsportweek, Mattiacci reportedly believed that Vettel would be a bit subservient because he didn't speak Italian unlike Alonso who was fluent. And so Vettel was saddled with the same issues Alonso had. Nothing changed.

      Funny, Vettel made the Ferrari pit wall look like idiots also several times... Regardless, with 2 of the 3 best drivers post-Schumacher, they failed to get titles. Clearly the drivers were not at fault. The amount of pressure they put on them and the terrible mismanagement has been a constant with this team. Even now, despite having all the conditions to be title contenders, they are screwing up and Leclerc is starting to be more vocal about it... He was all happy and all in 2019-2020 when the team wasn't a contender and he was up against a driver that was getting less and less motivated with the team, but now that he is the nr1 on a title contending car, he'll start to notice how Ferrari truly work. The calls they made in Imola and Monaco were just... bad...

      Fernando lost to Hamilton in 2007 when he was a rookie in the same team... He was not going to beat Hamilton in a better team and overall faster and more reliable cars. Vettel in 2017 did everything possible to win the title but circumstances outside of his control like other drivers crashing, punctures and reliability issues pushed him away from the title.
      In 2018, Vettel was really a disaster in the 2nd half, but so was Ferrari... Maybe Alonso wouldn't lose by 60 points, but he wouldn't be anywhere near Hamilton in 2018. In 2018, Hamilton was at his peak. Alonso or any other driver was not going to beat him in 2018 unless they were his teammates in the same team and car and also at their own peaks (2012 Alonso, 2013 Vettel).
      People act like losing to Hamilton, one of the GOATs of this sport, automatically makes you a bad driver... and when he is on his peak years and on the team that won 8 CONSECUTIVE constructors titles.
      You want better comparison between Alonso and Vettel? Taking away the wet qualifying sessions, Vettel on average was faster than Kimi in 2015 than Fernando was in 2014, and in 2014 Kimi was at his return year for Ferrari while Alonso was on his 5th season with them while in 2015 Kimi was on his 2nd season with Ferrari and Vettel on his first... It also doesn't help that Kimi himself described the 2015 Ferrari much better to drive and suited to him...
      At the very least, when they are on their best, Vettel has more pace than Alonso. I do think Alonso has better race craft though but in title contender cars, pace is more important than race craft.

Alonso who lost out by 3 points with barely the second fastest car in 2012 in one of the most dominant eras ever when Hamilton was nowhere to be seen in a better car.
      Also Alonso didnt "lose" in 2007, they equaled on points. Hamilton outqualified Alonso, but Alonso beat Hamilton on race days 10-7. Doesnt really seem as a loss to me. Also that "rookie" status is not as impressive when drivers got a whole season worth of pre testing back then unlike nowadays.
      Hamilton lost a title to Rosberg and was outscored by Button in 2010-2012 as well as lost the 2011 season to Button and now is getting his a** kicked by a Mercedes rookie Russell, as well as lost the 2021 title with the fastest car.

    F14T's power unit was designed physically as small as possible and this was demanded and decided by Ferrari's aerodynamics team, according to Luca Marmorini. Aero team's idea was to have ''size zero'' rear end for F14T and that demanded the power unit to be very very small. In theory a good plan, efficient aerodynamics would benefit the whole aero concept of the car but in reality aerodynamic performance of F14T was not what Ferrari expected. Poor handling and mediocre aerodynamics combined with size zero power unit that lacked power meant lackluster pace. Good concept in theory but a flawed one in reality, probably caused by internal fighting and lack of leadership.
