Two wins in three races but Ferrari boss plays down F1 title bid
Ferrari resurgence
Ferrari’s recent surge has been notable because it comes without a full-on declaration of a title bid. The team has taken two wins in three races, but leadership is still insisting the focus is race-to-race rather than on championship talk.
That restraint matters because the points picture is still crowded near the front. Lewis Hamilton sits third overall, while Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli remains the drivers’ leader heading into the next stretch of the season.
Title fight tightens
Antonelli’s lead is still real, but it is no longer comfortable. Recent results and penalties have reduced the cushion over George Russell, turning what looked like a one-driver advantage into a closer intra-Mercedes fight.
That shift changes the strategic landscape for the rest of the field. Rivals now have more reason to target consistent podiums instead of hoping for one runaway favorite to disappear.
What comes next
The next races will decide whether this is a temporary squeeze or the start of a genuine multi-team battle. If Ferrari keeps scoring wins and Mercedes keeps splitting points between Antonelli and Russell, the championship could stay open much longer than expected.
For now, the main takeaway is that no team has broken away decisively. The drivers’ title race is still being shaped by small margins, penalties and weekend execution rather than by outright pace alone.
