We all know the 2022 F1 championship could have been closer. The racing has generally been pretty good and the ground-effects machines have largely done what they were supposed to do, but we only had a brief illusion of a title fight.
What Mercedes did wrong is easy to see (though complex to fix): the W13 isn’t very good. But Ferrari did produce a fine car in the F1-75. Given how the Red Bull RB18 has developed during the year, it’s probably fair to say Ferrari was always destined to lose but, should it find itself in a similar position in future, it has many issues to fix.
