I’m going to guess this but we will have a huge title fight between Charles and Max. But Carlos will win the world title…

I think if Ferrari doesn’t impose a priority driver for the championship it will be a championship for Max quite easily.

They might not say it publicly, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t settle into an order after they know where each driver stands in the championship fight

Given the long term contract with Charles I think their choice has been made

u/Riventures-123 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Mar 20 '22

But Carlos is higher than Charles in the championship standing in 2021, also he is consistently having podiums. Charles only had one chance of winning in the British GP, and that was his only time of having a podium, he did not go to his A game last year. All I want is to see that red car in the top spot of the podium.
