Was Ferrari good in 2022?
This season, Ferrari scored a total of 554 points, which is an improvement from 323. One could say that the Italian team has come a long way. However, the results throughout the season may leave a bitter taste for the entire team. Ferrari has fallen from being regular podium contenders to often fighting for points. Inconsistent qualifying performances, questionable strategy calls, and fading race pace over a Grand Prix have cost the team valuable results – particularly in a season where the field has been exceptionally close.
Why did Lamborghini leave the F1?
Lamborghini isn’t in F1 because it doesn’t fit their business strategy or VW Group’s brand “lane assignments. The cost/complexity of modern hybrid F1 power units is massive, road-relevance is limited for a V12 hybrid supercar maker, and the Group already designated other brands (Audi/Porsche) for F1. So why doesn’t Lamborghini have an F1 team? Lamborghini’s parent company, Volkswagen AG, now have other brands involved in F1. Porsche it set to become the engine manufacturer for multiple teams and Audi will have their own team. Lamborghini did try racing in F1 for a few years in the early 90s, but it did not go well.
Why isn’t Porsche joining F1?
Conclusion Porsche’s decision not to enter Formula 1 as a constructor is not merely one of logistical hurdles but one of carefully thought-out strategy. It focused on areas of motorsport that better aligned with their engineering philosophy and financial goals. Porsche then proposed getting a stake in Aston Martin for an investment there, but the British car company instead partnered with Honda — which didn’t ask for any share. Ultimately, Porsche was left without any partners and Formula 1 became out of reach.
