Ferrari needs to join Red Bull in making “life difficult for Mercedes” in 2021. “I did a series of tests for Ferrari and we then sat down with the team management who had drawn up a very comprehensive plan to prepare me for a career in Formula 1,” Rossi, now 41, tells Corriere della Sera newspaper. I think Charles is one of the strongest drivers on the grid,” Rossi said. “Ferrari has the people it needs to win races, now all they need to do in Maranello is build a car to get the job done. Like Red Bull, Ferrari must position itself to make life difficult for them,” he insisted.
