In April we wrote about how, since Formula One set foot in Melbourne, whoever achieves a double at Albert Park has always won the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championship. The eight one-two over there – 1996 (Williams), 1998 (McLaren), 2000 (Ferrari), 2004 (Ferrari), 2009 (Brawn GP), 2015 (Mercedes), 2016 (Mercedes) 2019 (Mercedes) – have always announced the arrival of the Irises.
This precedent has been taken into account for a couple of months and the success of Charles Leclerc to Montecarlo allows us to raise the bar even further, because the success of the Monegasque on his home roads represents another very encouraging sign with a view to the continuation of the season.
Well, how many times has it happened that the same team he triumphed in both Melbourne and Monte Carlo with two different drivers? Forget the Australian double, here we’re talking about a simple victory. The response is surprising, since the situation has only arisen four times. In the 1999 with the Ferrari and then on three occasions with the Mercedes (2015, 2016, 2019).

In all four cases, the team in question he boasted of Constructors’ World Championship at the end of the competitive year. Indeed, only the 1999 drivers’ title is missing, but we know how it was twenty-five years ago Michael Schumacher yes it is broke a leg at Silverstone. If that incident had not occurred, the Great Fast might have been a year shorter.
Agatha Christie claimed that three clues were proof. At the moment we have two clues as to how 2024 could end with at least one Ferrari triumph… If we were to submit to the rules of the “cabal”!
