Ferrari

With sixteen Constructors' Championships and fifteen Drivers' Championships, Ferrari is the most successful team in Formula 1. Statistically, it also has the highest chance of continued success, as Ferrari is the only team that has appeared at every race since 1950. Other teams, such as Lotus and Jaguar, have either fallen by the wayside or left the sport entirely, but the team from Maranello has consistently remained in the competition. Legendary drivers such as Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher, and Juan Manuel Fangio have secured numerous titles for Ferrari, contributing to the team’s record collection of championships in Formula 1. While other teams have occasionally pushed Ferrari down the standings, the Italians have always managed to recover and rise back to the top.

In 2025, Ferrari aims to dominate the Formula 1 grid and claim the Constructors' Championship. The addition of Lewis Hamilton is seen as the key to winning a Constructors' title and ideally securing a Drivers' Championship as well. With Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari has the potential to have the perfect lineup. Whether Ferrari can capture major titles in the final year of the current F1 regulations remains to be seen.

In 2024, Ferrari came up just short in the battle for the Constructors' Championship. Drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc made an impressive comeback during the season, but it wasn’t enough to overtake McLaren. Charles Leclerc finished third in the Drivers' Championship, and while Ferrari showed strong competitiveness, it was ultimately not enough to clinch the title. However, the team will look to build on this momentum in 2025 with a new driver lineup, as Hamilton joins Leclerc after making the move from Mercedes.

After a difficult period in the 1980s and 1990s, Ferrari’s fortunes changed with the arrival of Michael Schumacher. Schumacher secured five consecutive Drivers' Championships, bringing his total to seven World Championships. Ferrari was also crowned Constructors' Champion five times in a row, until Fernando Alonso and Renault ended that streak. The last Drivers' Championship for Ferrari came in 2007 when Kimi Räikkönen won the title. That year, Ferrari also secured the Constructors' Championship. The last Constructors' Championship win came in 2008, marking Ferrari’s last title in this category until now.

In 2025, Lewis Hamilton will be driving for Ferrari, alongside Charles Leclerc as his teammate for the season. Carlos Sainz, Leclerc's previous teammate, made the switch to Williams.

Like Renault, Mercedes, and Honda, Ferrari is also a power unit manufacturer in Formula 1. In 2019, Ferrari’s engine was their strongest point, but in 2020, they lost much of their speed. In recent years, Ferrari has made significant improvements, allowing the Italian team to be more competitive with the top teams. Haas and Sauber also use Ferrari engines in their F1 cars.

Ferrari is one of the F1 teams with the most successful merchandise lines. The iconic red color ensures that many fans purchase items from the team. With Hamilton now joining Leclerc as a teammate, Ferrari merchandise will likely see even stronger sales.
