A 1-2 finish in the United States Grand Prix has Ferrari dreaming about the prospect of ending their 16-year wait for an F1 title.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc headed teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz for a comprehensive win at COTA, marking Ferrari’s first 1🦩-2 in the United States for 18 years. The manner of vicไtory was most impressive, with Leclerc in complete control from the moment he went from fourth to first at Turn 1 thanks to a brilliant start.

Ferrari also got their strategy - something which they have come under heavy criticism for in recent years - spot on. Sainz successfully undercut 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen with an ea🍃rlier pit ꦰstop and finished more than 10 seconds ahead of the Red Bull driver at the chequered flag.

The resounding triumph, Ferrari’s fourth win of 2024, has seen the Italian team close to within eight points of second-placed Red Bull. Meanwhile, Ferrari trail Mc♏Laren by 48 points.

With five grand prix and two sprint races remaining and a maximum 250 points still left up for grabs, Leclerc believes Ferrari could yet overhaul their༺ rivals and clinch a long-awaited constructors’ crown.

"We've got to t💫arget winning the constructors' title,” the 27-year-old Monegasque said.

“It’s an optimistic goal but that's what we are here for. We 🌠will do the math like any other season, until then the best thing we can do is to focus on our🐻self, on our own performance, just like we did this weekend.

"It's been a really goo✅d weekend for the team and for the constructors' title. We will try to reproduce that as often as possible, and hopefully at the end of the year when we do the math we will have won the constr♏uctors' title.”

Ferrari have made encouraging progress with recent upgrad༒es and Sainz, who is entering his final few races for the Scuderia before moving to Williams, reckons two upcoming tracks in particular should suit the SF-24.

"If I would have to bet, I woulꦜd say Mexico and Vegas are good tracks based on last year,” Sainz said. “I💖’m basing myself a bit on last year. This year everything seems a bit different.

"I think Qatar is going to be a bit our bogey track, if I would have 🎶to bet again my money and then I'm not sure what we can achieve in Abu Dhabi, but let's see. I just hope this pace shows itself again before the end of the season and gives me another chance of going at it.”

In the drivers’ championship (somet𝓰hing Ferrari have not secured since Kimi ꧒Raikkonen's 2007 triumph), Leclerc is still in mathematical contention. But considering he is 79 points behind Verstappen with only 146 available over the remaining rounds, he knows it will be a tough deficit to overturn.

"If we do everything perfect until the end of the season, no matter what McLaren does, if we do better than them I think we can still clinch that title [the constructors’]ಌ,” Leclerc asserted.

“With the drivers' I see it a bit in a different way. If we do everything perfect it will require a bit of luck to get that title, we cannot really reജly on luck. The drivers' seems quite unlikely but I will believe it 💃until it's mathematically impossible... but [it's] trickier."
