“These are challenging times for Ferrari, which at the moment falls short of competing for championships. It’s from the beginning of the season. I have one problem that you can consider Max is in a class of his own” “But behind Max, it’s very, very tight. I think on the qualifying, you had six or seven cars in one tenth.

Ferrari’s Legacy: From Schumacher Glory to Recent Challenges
Michael Schumacher, the German racing prodigy, joined Ferrari in 1996 and drove for them until his first retirement in 2006 with seven championships under his belt. The records seemed unbreakable until Lewis Hamilton started the streak of winning races and championships with Mercedes.
In the last few years, Ferrari has faced difficulties in maintaining their winning form. Despite having competitive cars, they haven’t consistently challenged for championships. Factors such as technical regulations, internal team dynamics, and strong competition from other teams have contributed to their struggles.
