The Ferrari Formula 1 team ended the 2023 season in third place in the Constructors Championship. The outfit was pretty much neck and neck with Mercedes but there was a huge gap when it came to the mighty Red Bull. A lot has been said about Ferrari’s 2023 woes but its driver, Carlos Sainz has backed the team to come up with the goods next year.

Carlos Sainz genuinely believes that despite the setbacks that Ferrari faced this year, it can overcome all of them in 2024 and become a nuisance for the reigning Constructors World Champions, Red Bull. Max Verstappen and Co. have been dominating F1 since the dawn of the new regulations.

It has to be our realistic aim. Will we manage to do it? Only time will tell. I want the team to be thinking that it is possible because I believe it is. Also, we've proven that if McLaren has been able to do these steps during the season, I'm perfectly confident that Ferrari can do it over a winter break. I trust this team. I trust the capacity that we have back at home to turn things around.
