Formula 1 star Carlos Sainz believes Ferrari 's failure to adapt over the course of the 2022 season proved their undoing as champions Red Bull simply "out-developed" the competition.
Charles Leclerc started off the campaign in particularly strong fashion after finishing first in two of the first races of the season (Bahrain and Australia). That ultimately accounted for half of Ferrari's four wins for the season, however, the last of which came at the Austrian Grand Prix in early July.
Sainz, 28, settled for fifth overall and finished just below George Russell despite Mercedes ' devastating issues with porpoising. Leclerc took second but was 146 points off the pace of champion Max Verstappen, and team principal Mattia Binotto paid with his job at the end of the term.
