This has aged well
Hasn't it just...!
Pleased to see you highlighting the pit crew. They have been consistently faster in both races than Red Bull and Merc. I think this is a HUGE advantage for Ferrari to have in tight competitions. Kudos!
I know, right. Even the strategists are stellar this year
I agree Bert. If the strategists hadn’t tightened up their game it wouldn’t matter how they improved in other areas. Look at the mess they made of several races in the Vettel era. That being said I’m glad Ferrari are back and it’s exciting seeing these two brilliant drivers coming into their own.
Oh man, this aged really really well 😂
Have to disagree in one point. Vettel in Ferrari had two times a stronger car early on the season, but as the season develop Mercedes Team surpassed Ferrari in development pace. That could also explain why many in the Media still underestimate Ferrari as a candidate for the title, expecting that Red Bull and Mercedes overcome in development pace throughout the season.
Unlikely to happen this season when there's a former engineer leading the team and Ferrari having more wind tunnel time all the way up until midway through the season. Luckily Binotto has highlighted this fact as something that must not be repeated this season.
@@orio_3 Isn't it like 10% more wind tunnel time? and the advantage only lasts till september? is that still a thing?
@@AstroAvenger Believe me that 10% is vital time, especially for midseason development, and now until September is almost the entire season. It's a major advantage, and major disadvantage for a struggling team who's already slower then the leaders (Mercedes).
@@orio_3 Well Haas and Alpha have more than Mercedes, can they beat Merced for 3rd position?

6:25 the most important, understated part of the video. Ferrari playing tank ball in exchange for wind tunnel plus Red Bull locking up the Arrows development to attack 2021 instead of let them run away and focus on the new era
Dude, I love your F1 videos. What happened to you? It's been so long since you posted a video.
I miss your videos too, the best F1 channel with Driver61 and The Race. 😔💔
2:35 - No, it was not quicker throughout the whole season. It was matching Mercedes at the start of the season, but they could not match Mercedes' very quick development speed as the season went on.
Vettel made some mistakes too, but even if he drove better, the Mercedes car was so superior after the summer breaks that Ferrari could not keep up at all
I think people were too quick to throw Binotto under the bus. Remember, he's been working at Ferrari since 1998.
This is true. He loves the team, and has shown a complete turn around so far this year. No pit stop blunders, no strategy mishaps. The first 2 races I was just waiting for something to happen that ruined one of their races, but both sides of the garage were flawless! I am tentatively getting more excited to see this battle for the championship this year! Forza Ferrari!
Look, it took too long, ferrari is a reputable company
I curious how the development war will turn out, I think there is a lot to expect from red bull, cause they were in a intense tittle battle last year, and still are close to ferrari. Who had invested way more time into 2022
I know, I really wonder how Red Bull pulled that off. It’s amazing how hard they pushed last year and still at the beginning of this year they seem to be on par with Ferrari. I really thought both Red Bull and Mercedes were bluffing last year by saying that they weren’t compromising 2022 development with the 2021 title fight. Now it seems only Mercedes were bluffing. Wonder what both will have in store.
Maybe over at RedBull HQ they’re feeding Newey some extra wheaties. 😂
@@mongoose4960 I'm honestly very surprised that RB are doing as well as they are. It's only the start of the season and they're already fiercly battling with Ferrari
@@NGFN I think Perez said it best when he joined the team. They are winners
Aged like fine wine
Got to hand it to Binotto, I didn’t think he was the right guy but… going through hell repairing the team for 2 years and producing a WCC team contender now, ultimate chad.
Aged like milk
i grew up in the schumacher era and somehow seeing a ferrari win seems just right to me even tough a would consider myself a RB fan
POV:ur watching this on the abu dhabi race weekend
Ferrari are the best team in F1 right now, because they have done the best job. (insert Will Buxton face)
Ferrari- pause for breath-looks around dramatically- are the (insert common knowledge here) team in f1.
I both love and hate when Buxton says platitudes.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the Buxton phenomenon. How does such a muppet end up in F1?
@@acruzp his race commentary is actually good though. He doesn't yell like croft lol
Thank you Will for the poignant takes as always
I’m not ready to say that the Hamilton era is closing, or that Verstappen will fully fill his shoes, but I’m definitely more than happy to see the resurgence of the Italian Stallions after a low point with Vettel.
When the cars were released, a lot of the reports were doubting Ferrari's interpretation of the rules, and at the same time claiming everyone will need to copy Mercedes' tiny side pods.
It's been kind of funny.
Gary Anderson wasn't impressed with the Ferrari design and everyone was licking Merc's zero sidepods. it certainly has been kind of funny 😊
Most of us are still coping with PTDS from Mercedes era; the rest are Tifosi who don’t want to jinx it.
Dirk Strickland hahah yeah completely true, i’m one of those tifosi.

Bwoah actual content, nice job 👍
Subbed, liked, not sure why I haven't so far. Great job lad, keep up the good work.
Great video keep it up, new sub
Ferrari does have a very strong driver lineup, but so does Mercedes. I'm no Hamilton fan, but he's arguably the GOAT and there's no denying that Russell is fast as fuck. Red Bull also has an amazing pairing, possibly even the most effective for a title fight since Checo is a menace but also probably the best team player alongside Bottas.
Checo is basically Hamilton + Bottas, he can switch between the two when possible.
But then he also inherits some both weaknesses too
POV ur watching after binotto step down
and now they extend their gap bigger. Max was 16s behind prior to safety car at Australia GP
This aged badly 😂
I still believe they have the best car..!
@@BehindTheDriveOfficial Car- maybe. Team - clearly not.
Oh, you've made the determination that Ferrari is the best team, have you? I'd say it's very early in the season to make that particular leap of faith.
People forgetting that Red Bull had a pole and a win the last race, they are focusing too much on the current points and no enough on the fact that Red Bull will not have the same trouble they had on the first race again.
Silver Arrows will be back 🤘
@@bernardoblanchetramirez6032 this comment didn't age quite well
@@smellingmeerkat7225 completely agree
Just like Merc had a full yr of development in 2013 for the new hybrid turbo era hence their superiority and reliability..
It's just two races. Too early to judge
Ferrari and Red Bull are clearly the class of the field. I firmly believe that the Merc will join the party once they get their suspension and aero issues figured out. That PU is proven, so while it may still be slightly underpowered, it still has enough to contend once the drag issues are no longer holding it back.
Yeah my guess is merc has the 2nd or 1st fastest concept but didn’t have the time to figure it out it the drawbacks like Ferrari did.
This aged well
that aged well
You jinxed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m dying for the next race. It can’t be here soon enough
i think one (important) factor of ferraris car this year, are the wide sidepots....together with the underfloor grundeffect tunnels, they give a more stable car overall......the merc car sort of has bothing "to hold on".....and unless they change the "bodywork"...they won't be able to "fix" that issue.....
One problem with this video. You said 1982 was a good season for Ferrari. It wasn’t, their first driver died in a crash and their 2nd driver was badly injured, and while they won the constructors title Pironi barely lost the title to Rosberg. So let’s not hope for a repeat of 82 😅
Turns out that Ferrari's advantage is the lighter battery pack. That's why Mercedes and Red Bull cars are heavier. Both teams are working on battery upgrade to reduce the weight of the cars. Have a good one.
No that's not the case...
Any evidence?
@@wizzyno1566 I know RedBull has started they are over 10kg heavier than legal minimum. Also it is reported Alfa Romeo is the only team at minimum or the closest to it. Seeing they are using Ferrari power this may actually have done legs to it. If it is true I imagine there will be updates coming very soon to fix that issue.
@@wizzyno1566 Would you believe if I told you that the batteries were built in Russia?..... before the madness..
Nice
While the added wind tunnel time is an advantage, I will have to digress that it is not everything.
You have teams like Williams, and aston martin having more time than ferrari in general based off last year's results, but still came up with slow cars in general. Red Bull also had the second least wind tunnel time next to merc, but still managed to make a top 2 car for this year, while merc having slightly less time than Red bull, managed to have an underdeveloped car.
Hence, while those are advantages, how those advantages are fully utilized will still matter. You need to also consider that when mentioning advantages with context.
I thought teams only had a limited time in the wind tunnels now
@@daviddean292 yes but it depends on their standing on constructors the previous year. So lower ranked teams will have more wind tunnel allocation.
Fair point. But Adrian Newey is still the best aero man in the history of the sport. Even though Red Bull was also limited in wind tunnel time, Newey has probably forgotten more than most will ever know. He's truly a genius and he was around during the old ground effects days of old.
Red Bull's car is only better at top speed on the straights at the moment. Ferrari is yet to run the engine to its full potential because they do not want to have early reliability problems. In Jeddah which could be the track that is the weakest for Ferrari they brought it to the wire and almost won while driving with 7th gear on the straights under 12K rpm. Also the car seems to be very reliable and fast on any type of circuit. The Red Bull is certainly quick, but I think they will lose the title because of reliability issues and not being able to be as fast as the Ferrari on slower tracks with more hard breaking zones. And by the time Mercedes catches up it will already be too late to fight for 1st and will actually help Ferrari by nicking points from Red Bull.
Let's wait and see, I think redbull has far much better car
Mercedes thinking long term. Wait till September you’ll see who truly has the fastest car until the next regulatory change.
Agreed 100%
@@san-joshuabarrett it's not they are thinking long term, thats just how long it's gonna take to fix the issues. Somewhere they fuked up this years design and they don't even know where the problem is. Will they sort it, yeah of course but by September it will be far too late for this season.
I been thinking the same and that’s why I concluded that it’s wrong because no unknowns are included, things will not go on tracks like that, it’s highly unlikely for this scenario to play out without setbacks.
Oh this aged so well
This didn't age well.😅
it's been a long time, Ferrari must win this year
This didn't age well, did it 😂
Hello, Andy! I really love your style! :)
Revolving door not resolving
Freudian slip? Door problem resolved. ✅
Ye in 2018 Mercedes had the better car, despite all British media quoting Hamilton that it was the other way around. Ferrari dropped the ball on development somewhere in the season, but Mercedes was strong right off the bat. In Australia Vettel only got a win because of the VSC. Add to the fact that Pirelli were doing some weird shenanigans with their tyres, where some races there would be the lower trim that really favored the Mercedes cars and that championship just went away fast. Even without the incidents I don't believe Vettel would've won, but he did screw up big time.
I'm curious to see a race like Baku or Monza to see how will the Ferrari work in a low drag situation. I thought the Red Bulls were better at top speed, but the truth is that Ferrari is using higher downforce, so I'm not sure how will that pan out once they reduce it.
The seb and Ferrari pairing is a tricky one because in both the first half of 2017 and 18 I’d say seb had the measure on Lewis but on the second half merc had something to prove and got their car ahead and seb was sadly losing confidence in certain. If the fuck ups by Ferrari and seb didn’t happen 2018 could’ve dragged into the last few races but overall merc simply had their shit together
Hamilton had a mega season in 2018, so Vettel would have needed a very strong season as well to win the title. He, however, made way too many mistakes, even at the beginning of the season. Not sure which car was better. Bottas only finished 5th in the championship, even behind the usually underwhelming Räikkönen.
Your forgetting about the monster Ferrari engine. Every team that uses the Ferrari has improved vastly this season. It's not a coincidence. And since the engines are locked until 2025, the advantage is sustainable.
RB was much faster on the straights , especially in Jeddah.
It's not the best engine but close.
@@fb6039 Good point...but TR wasn't looking special at either race. While Hass and Alfa have taken a massive step up. I think that RB speed was more down to that Adrian Newey magic (and Verstappen talent 😫).
@@fb6039 Rb wasn't faster in staits because of engine mate but because of a different aero setup but who has stronger engine between thous 2 we common people will never know!!
Personally I think Red Bull is going to figure out their reliability issues and dominate the rest of the season
The Ferrari is the best lookin so far for me
Love it
Aged well…
Good analysis. Thank you for posting 🙂
I think Red Bull has the fastest but not the Most consistent car. Ferrari is a little Bit slower but less vulnerable to track or condition changes
perhaps, but i don't think so... Ferrari on the corners, Red Bull in straight line speed. A draw
I liked this,nice job
How can you say that Ferrari arguably had the faster car in 2017 and 2018? At stages perhaps but merc were always a step ahead
real reason: 2019 engine is back
Every inch of the car has been checked by the FIA, it's regular :)
@@metateo98 it’s a joke 😭
@@nathanq6139 oh well some really believe they are cheating soo
@@metateo98 that’s because they “manipulated” the rules in 2019

Sorry...!
Wow, this didn’t date well.
Maybe too soon?? I'm having 2018 and 2019 flashbacks.... pls no
It's only 2 races in, geez, why is everybody already concluding that Ferrari is the team to beat? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Ferrari fan. And I'm really excited about their prospects this year. But like I said, it's only 2 races in. A long long way to go. A lot of development still to come from every team. I'll be really convinced when the season is two-thirds done and Ferrari are still competing for both titles.
This did not age well
Ferrari's NEW 2022 engine upgrade is the reason why Ferrari is in front for 2022. Ferrari shifted its original engine to a split-turbo engine like Mercedes and Honda to also include Renault upgrade as well in the engine(2022).
Wolf Zimmermann takes credit for Ferrari's "Superfast" engine for 2022. It's a total redesign for Ferrari and is paying off for having a fast car.
2 races in the season of 2022 and both Mercedes and Ferrari are STILL experiencing porpoising issues except for RedBull.
Correction :
*6th in 2020.
they were third on 2021
Saying Seb dropped the ball driving a quicker car makes zero sense to me at least. That merc package got better and better while Ferrari management kept changing above the principals
Palantir bringing the results 🚀
What we all know for sure is: With Binotto on our side we would pass any exam in the school easily.
Not with redbull as invigilators, there are the better team, marko and horner are calm like babes suckling milk, they know all is in check
You have to keep position. Top 3. Drivers are great of Ferrari.
You know, Ferrafi were 3rd in 2021 and 6th in 2020....
3:00 Did you really just call Carlos a Spaniel? 😮
spaniard
So the laast time Ferrari didn't have a world champion was 2007, the last time they won the world championship. Curious...
I seem to recall that Ferrari decided to stop developing the 2021 car in order to develop their 2022 car, good call
I think Red Bull have the best car. It was overshadowed by reliability in the first race, but without the unfortunate safety car situation for Perez it could have been a 1-2 for RB in Saudi.
True, its apparent that redbull is holding back, it has far better package, I don't why people keep saying ferrari is the team to bit
Agreed. The last grand prix confirmed that for me, the Redbull straight line speed was night and day compared to Ferrari hence why Leclerc could do nothing to counter once Verstappen had passed him.
@@spuddy98 Yeah, that's simply called running with more downforce which makes the car slower on the straights but faster through the corners...

Do these videos really need to give us a history lesson? 🤷🏻♂️
yes. gotta reach that 10min lenght

Lol. There's a lot more to happen until the last race. You can't say Ferrari is the best team in 2022.

Dont jinx it bro
When you want to prepare such a report or analysis make sure you get sufficient or true info . 2017 2018 Ferrari didn't have the best car they were lack from updates and team was so bad in many ways plus redbull wasn't there to fight
You were dreaming then Andy LOL
Evidently... At the time, they had a great car. Oh how things change!
Let's first see if Ferrari is really the best team for the whole of 2022. Also the best team is more than just the team with the most wins.
If not the team with most wins, then what would make the best team?

Is Ferrari still being subsidized by every other F1 team for participating and competing against them?
And more revolving door Binotto out Vasseur in… man this thing really aged poorly… Always Remember eventually Red Bull and Mercedes are gonna catch up ..although Merc took longer this year but u can probably argue Merc finished better then Ferrari…
It's too early to say if Ferrari will be the dominant team this year. Red Bull look fast. I hope the Mercs get their S**t together pronto as we need a 3 team mix for the title. If Merc don't get their act together in the next 2 races, they are out of the fight.
Well, that didn't age well.
The only thing that may hold them from winning the championship this year is Strategy.
Red Bull and Merc have proven that they get the strategy correct most of the time, in the past with Ferrari its hit or miss
It's only Red Bull who get strategy right most of the time. Merc strategy is below standard
Merc strategy😂😂😂 they couldnt even pit Lewis
Redbull this season
Last time merc made a good call was last year in spain, they suck at it big time compared to red bull
How far have they fallen!!!!
Maurizio Arrivabene❤>>> Mattia Binotto
Once Red Bull lose the 10kg and they’re down to 800kg, they’ll probably be the fastest car by some margin.

There are twenty races to go and they've got a mountain to climb. They're by no means the best team either, they're on par with Red Bull at the moment. The next three races look to suit the Bull's better, so i'll be surprised if Ferrari take victory.
The best car? Maybe the fastest, but not the most reliable.
The best driver? Probably not, Max has the edge.
The best team? No, absolutely not... Ferrari have hade far too many strategy & pitstops errors.
I would argue that:-
Ferrari have the fastest car.
Red Bull have the best car.
Best team is a toss-up between Red Bull & Mercedes.
Best driver is probably Max=1, then Lewis & Charles on a par.
