F1 legend Gerhard Ber꧂ger believes Ferrari are best placed to be Red Bull’s n🌳earest challenger in 2024.

After duelling it ♋out with Red Bull for much of 2022, Ferrari took a step back into the following season after their new design philosophy didn’t work out.

Ferrari slowly improved as F1 2023 progressed, performing best at low downforce circuits such as S𒈔pa, Monza and Las Vegas.

Ferrari and Mercedes are ex๊pected to make radical changes to their cars for 2024 as they look to reduce the deficit to Red Bull.

Berger - who raced in F1 between 1984 ꦛand 1997 - thinks Ferrari can close the♑ gap to Red Bull if they “take radical steps”.

“In Formula 1 things always tur💎n out d🔯ifferently than you think,” he said in an interview with .

“If Red Bull keeps its team together like t♏his, it will be difficul🥂t to catch up with them. It can only work if the others take radical steps.

“I still have the most confidence in Ferrari. They🦄 were better in the second half of the seas♈on than the results showed.

“You should never underestimate Mercedes and [Lewi🥀s] Hamilton, and McLaren is also doing a very good job.”

Berger also disagreed with the view that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s doꦿminance is boring, explaining t💮hat it evens creates “a certain enthusiasm”.

“We already said in Schumacher’s time: This can’t last l🧔ong. But such🐻 dominance also creates a certain enthusiasm, even for me,” he added.

“You just get caught up in perfection. That the driver doesn’t make any mistakes again, that the te🔯am completes every pit stop in the best time, 🧜that the car doesn’t stop again and the engine stops again.

“🀅It’s fascinating and yꦑou just want to know whether it will be like that again next time.”
