Compared to the results achieved in 2015 with the SF15-T, the 2016 season of Ferrari in Formula 1 was much better, thanks to the changes made to the 6-cylinder turbo, capable of reaching 970HP. The efforts of the team, however, did not serve to stem the overwhelming power of Mercedes. Vettel and Raikkonen did not go beyond eleven podiums and four fastest laps. In that season, the only ones who managed to contrast Mercedes domination, even remotely, were the two Red Bull drivers, Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
