Sobre IBD

In 2022, Formula One entered a new technical era, and Ferrari appeared ready to return to the summit. Its innovative F1-75 delivered immediate speed, pole positions and victories, while Red Bull Racing struggled with weight, reliability and an imperfectly balanced RB18. Yet by the end of the season, the championship had been transformed. The Advantage That Slipped Away examines the extraordinary engineering contest between Ferrari and Red Bull Racing during one of Formula One’s most revealing seasons. From the return of ground-effect aerodynamics and the battle against porpoising to power-unit failures, tyre degradation, strategic mistakes and relentless development, Gigi Romano explains how an early Ferrari advantage gradually became a commanding Red Bull triumph. The book follows the rivalry through the season’s decisive moments, including Ferrari’s opening success in Bahrain, lost opportunities in Spain and Monaco, renewed victories at Silverstone and Austria, and Red Bull’s remarkable performance at Spa. It explores how weight reduction, aerodynamic efficiency, suspension behaviour and the cost cap influenced the changing competitive order, while examining the contributions of Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. More than a race-by-race account, this is an examination of what separates a fast racing car from a championship-winning operation. For readers interested in Formula One history, motorsport engineering and the decisions that determine world championships, The Advantage That Slipped Away reveals how Ferrari’s promising beginning gave way to Red Bull’s increasingly complete technical and sporting performance.
