Ferrari F1-75 parked

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz—both driving for the Ferrari F1 team—placed second and third, respectively, in the maiden 2022 Miami Grand Prix. Behind the wheel of the F1-75, both drivers put up some seriously impressive numbers and managed to keep Ferrari in the lead for both of this year’s Championships. Even so, the Ferrari F1 team sees room for improvement after Max Verstappen captured the race’s top track time and winning slot.
