While the Tifosi are already dreaming of their first world championship title since 2007 – at that time Kimi Raikkonen was number one – Ferrari is trying to curb the euphoria. Not an easy task, because the next Formula 1 race will take place on April 24th in the “Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari” in Imola.
“We’re not thinking about the World Cup yet, because only three races are over. The power density is high,” said Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto after the win in Melbourne. The fact that defending champion Max Verstappen with his Red Bull car went technically knocked out for the second time this season gave Leclerc a comfortable point cushion in the World Cup. Binotto’s secret of success must almost sound like a mockery for the Red Bulls. If you want to win, you first have to get to the finish line.” Unlike his team boss, Leclerc is not very reserved. “We have a car that’s fast enough to win races and maybe the title. Now it’s up to me,” said the 24-year-old.
