After a mega engine update that also resulted in a grid penalty for Carlos Sainz Jr at the Turkish GP, Ferrari F1 boss Mattia Binotto has revealed the team now has a car equipped to compete for P3 in the constructors’ championship Is. At the Turkish GP, Charles Leclerc disappeared on a podium finish in P4 as he gambled with a late pitstop to win the race and Sainz motored from P19 to P8, the performance of the new horsepower achieved by the Ferrari engine that allowed it. It was given for easy crossing of cars in difficult wet conditions.
“At this point of the season, it’s clear that we have a package to fight for that position. And I think it’s also important for the team to focus on that as a target for the race and We want to achieve this,” he said.
Binotto said the track in Mexico would suit Ferrari due to the high altitude and straight-line speed. In Turkey, it was notable that Ferrari cars which have been blessed in low downforce trim with great mechanical grip were among the fastest cars in the Straits.

“Mexico is probably the way that on paper can support our package a bit more,” Binotto said, adding that the engine has gotten under 10-15 bhp boost thanks to the upgraded hybrid unit.
Carlos Sainz Jr. also hinted that there was something in the new engine that the team didn’t want to talk about too much, which shows how much development the 2022 season will see towards extensive rule changes and engine development to come.

At the Turkish GP, Ferrari closed the deficit to McLaren by only 6 points and with several tracks coming up that might suit Ferrari – the gap could be bridged by what is now very straight-line speed. Weakness is not weakness. This weakness was particularly at the fore at Ferrari’s home track at Monza which is the fastest track on the calendar with its long straights and full throttle times more than 70 percent. The McLaren cars came 1–2 powered by Mercedes engines, while the Ferrari pair managed P5 and P7, but this caused a huge gap between the two teams, which Ferrari is trying to plug to get the P3.

Development for the 2022 season at Maranello is also at a critical stage, meaning Ferrari’s boss will oversee the development of the car. Binotto used to be Ferrari’s technical director and head of the power unit before he was promoted to the position of head of the team. Even now department heads report to him.
