The last time Ferrari won a race in Formula 1 was at the Austrian Grand Prix in 2022 when Charles Leclerc emerged victorious.
The last time the Scuderia lifted a world championship was back in 2007 when Kimi Raikkonen brought home the gold.

More worryingly, however, is the fact that Ferrari have only managed one podium from eight races when Leclerc finished third in Azerbaijan.

“If they join the team and want to change everything, you are speaking about two or three years, but it would be too long.
“I think we have a good structure. We have to reinforce the team for sure and we are on this way but it’s not just about big names.
“In the big teams today we are roughly 1,000 [employees] and I’m convinced the weight of the group is much more important than the weight of the individual.”
