Ferrari chairman John Elkann has told fans that the team will return to the summit of both Formula 1 championships in the coming years.
The once-great Italian team has resembled something of a sleeping giant in recent seasons. The 2020 campaign was a particularly low point, as they finished sixth in the constructors' standings and looked a mere shadow of their former selves.
The way they started this season had Ferrari fans dreaming again. But while the pace has generally always been there, a combination of driver errors, strategy blunders and a lack of engine reliability has undone their challenge and allowed Red Bull to take a secure grip of both championships.
