Jon Noble: Why Ferrari could be a dark horse for the title – but we can't be sure until October
OPINION: After all the Red Bull vs McLaren talk, Ferrari has sneaked into the Formula 1 world title battle from the outside rail. With two potentially favourable tracks coming up, the Scuderia could make certain its championship-fighting credentials – but its ultimate test won’t be until it heads west
Amid all the excitement about Formula 1’s championship battle between Red Bull and McLaren, it has almost snuck under the radar that someone else is genuinely in the mix too. While the focus has been on what is now an eight point gap between F1’s top two teams, few outside of Maranello have realised that Ferrari is well in the mix – just a further 31 points back.
The Prancing Horse’s pre-summer break struggles with its Spanish GP floor served to almost make the squad anonymous when it came to title talk, as all eyes revolved on how Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were faring against Max Verstappen.
