For the FerrariThe Canadian Grand Prix it resulted in an authentic defeat. Not only because both Reds withdrew, as had not happened for almost two years, but above all due to the fact that she was literally got slappedseamlessly.
A terrible weekend for the Scuderia di Maranello, starting from qualifying. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz they ran aground in the Q2, finding himself having to sprint from the center of the grid. There Sunday rain it could have been a wild card, thanks to which the cards could have been shuffled and the ability of the individuals could have emerged (as actually happened in the case of Max Verstappen).
However, nothing has changed for the Prancing Horse, drowned in the water of the San Lorenzo River. Leclerc has themitigating of having suffered a problem with the power unit, a dynamic which however represents a malus tout-court for the team (thereliability it is not an optional). Sainz, on the other hand, did not exist. Frederic Vasseur spoke of damage to the floor suffered after the start, to which however the Spaniard made no reference.

The result is that of lose 25 points from the Red Bull In the Constructors’ World Championshipyielding at the same time also 28 at McLaren. Leclerc is still second in the drivers’ standings, but has slipped to -56 by Max Verstappen, finding himself hunted by Lando Norris.
Ferrari must be considered fully underway at least for the team title, the season is still very long. Nonetheless, what happened in Montreal must act as a lesson.
The Scuderia di Maranello is certainly not the one seen in Canada, where everything went wrong. However, it is not even that of Monte Carlo, an anomalous context and where this was achieved the maximum of one’s possibilities and where, vice versa, everything went right.
We need to be aware of these dynamics, without being influenced by the outcome of the moment. The Prancing Horse is competitive, more than it was in 2023 and in the second part of 2022, but it is a fragile competitiveness, which can break at any moment. Like the Monegasque enchantment, broken by the brutal Canadian reality.
Now we turn the page, the long European tour begins. Five races in six weekends will tell if the Constructors’ World Championship it may be a feasible objective, or if between ups and downs we will have to be content with being occasional protagonists. Always better than anonymitylet’s be clear, but not yet what all red fans aspire to.
