Ferrari’s momentum has hit a fever pitch with five podiums in the last six races, including back-to-back wins from Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. As Formula 1 heads to the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, the Ferrari drivers are brimming with confidence, both eyeing another victory to keep Ferrari’s championship hopes alive.
Leclerc claimed a thrilling victory at the United States Grand Prix from P4, showcasing a return to peak form, while Sainz took pole and the win in Mexico City, marking his first pole of the year. Their consecutive successes have put Ferrari within striking distance in the Constructors’ Championship.
Sainz, who’s set to join Williams Racing next season after four years at Ferrari, shared his excitement about their potential for more success this year. “We both believe it is possible and we are actually talking about it more and more often now,” he said. “We pump each other up, knowing that there’s a chance. We have a good relationship, and we’re both in a great moment in our driving.”
The teamwork between Leclerc and Sainz has positioned Ferrari as Red Bull’s fiercest rival in the title race, and team principal Fred Vasseur couldn’t be more satisfied. Known for his no-nonsense approach, Vasseur emphasized the importance of focus and consistency as Ferrari chases down Red Bull’s lead.
“It’s crucial for us to avoid distractions,” Vasseur explained. “We’re focused on what we’re doing—taking it race-by-race without worrying about the bigger picture. And it’s paying off.”
With the Brazilian Grand Prix set to be a high-stakes event, Ferrari’s sights are firmly on the top. Their impressive form has lifted them to second place in the Constructors’ Championship, and a strong finish in Sao Paulo could further solidify their resurgence as genuine title contenders. As F1 heads into the final stretch, the question remains—can Ferrari turn their blazing form into a historic comeback?
