Mercedes has shown impressive development rate in recent F1 races to emerge as Red Bull's lead challenger, but Ferrari is not concerned by the German manufacturer's progress as it looks ahead to 2023.
This has come with Mercedes having got on top of the early bouncing problems it had with its W13, and being able to finally unlock the potential it knew was always in the car.
Mercedes’ progress points to the team being back in contention for wins next year as it looks poised to switch some key concepts of its challenger. And that could leave Ferrari facing another season of disappointment in not being able to fight for the crown, having failed to capitalise on it having the best package at the start of this year.
But Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto think the current competitive picture between his outfit and Mercedes does not reflect the true situation for next year – because he says Maranello switched off development of its 2022 car early to shift focus to next year.“We know as well ourselves that we stopped quite early the development of that car to focus on 2023. So I'm not too concerned by the rate of development because I know, as well, when we stopped developing it.
