Ferrari is the only team that has always raced in F1, but now there is interest in a new reality. Here’s what it is.
After several years of oblivion, the Ferrari has returned to play the role of the great protagonist in F1, with already two victories obtained in 2024 in the first eight races. Charles Leclerc is only 31 points behind Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standingswith the Cavallino -24 from Red Bull in the constructors’ championship, a scenario that was impossible to predict until a few weeks ago.
The SF-24 seems capable of competing with the RB20, but also with one McLaren which, like the Red, has made a huge step in terms of performance. In the meantime, it seems that Ferrari is interested in landing in a new competition, even if the fans might turn up their noses. Here’s where we could see the Scuderia Modenese.
Ferrari, the Formula E hypothesis arises
Starting in 2023, the Ferrari has accepted an important challenge, namely that of the world endurance championship and the 24 hours of Le Mans, where the Hypercar now competes in the premier class. The debut was a dream, as the 499P dominated the French classic last yearalso thanks to the exceptional management of AF Corseand in just over a week he will aim for an encore.
Furthermore, there are also rumors of an interest from the Maranello company in Formula E, i.e. the full electric series born 10 years ago, and which has hosted a large number of manufacturers in recent years. Talking about this hypothesis is not a disreputable source, but Jeff Doddsnamely the CEO of the electric series.
Here’s what he said: “It could be that Ferrari arrives in Formula E. They have recently announced an electrification plant in Italy, as well as talking about a future range of full electric cars. And it’s the first time they’ve talked about 100% electric and not hybrid. They would elevate our league even more, not only because of the brand they are, but because they bring with them a great fan base“.
We remind you, for those who are not aware, that the first zero-emission road-going Red will be unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2025, so in about a year and a half. Furthermore, new technologies are also being studied in Maranello, given that a hydrogen engine has also been patented. At the moment, thinking of the Cavallino committing to Formula E seems unrealisticbut nothing is taken for granted, and anything could happen after the return to Le Mans.
