In an interview with RacingNews365, former F1 driver Pedro de la Rosa spoke about the conditions that will help Ferrari win the title this year…
Pedro de la Rosa “From now on, Ferrari must act aggressively. The only way to stop Max is to win several winning doubles in a row, otherwise the title will be lost.
It’s not even that they are already 63 points behind, the main point is that they are fighting against Verstappen and Red Bull, where the car has the same speed, but more reliable, so it will be difficult for Ferrari to regain these points.
Usually these two teams and two riders battle for the wins this year, but due to different circumstances Verstappen almost always wins. Behind a little more than half of the season, and the gap is already very large. Max dominates and probably won’t miss the title. It’s a shame if he gets won earlier than planned – everyone would love to see the fight until the last race of the season. But Ferrari and Leclerc lost a lot of points due to reliability issues, poor strategy and driver mistakes.
With a 63-point lead, Red Bull can afford to play it safe. For example, to change the engine before the race earlier than planned. Better to get a penalty for losing places at the start and a new bike than not finishing the race. The car is so fast that even with a penalty it can easily bounce back and finish in the top five.
Only in retirement can Red Bull lose the title. The speed advantage of Red Bull and Ferrari over the rest is very large. In addition, Red Bull has Sergio Perez, a good team player who will be close to Max and fulfill his role perfectly.”
