Wolff 'expects' Ferrari to feature in 2022 championship fight

Ferrari has bounced back strongly from a testing 2020 season

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has stated he expects Ferrari "to be right there" in the title fight in 2022.

Ferrari endured its worst campaign in 40 years last season but has bounced back to sit third in the constructors' standings as F1 entered its summer shutdown.

"We need Ferrari in the fight," said Wolff in an interview including GPFans Global.

"This needs to be a championship where there are four or five teams that can win, that compete against each other and Ferrari needs to be right there.

"They have a good driver line-up. They have recovered from last year, and I expect them to be right there next year with us, hopefully, Red Bull and McLaren and Aston Martin and Alpine and whoever because that will make the championships just so much more interesting for the spectators."

Ferrari was Mercedes' main rival for championship success in both 2018 and '19 with Sebastian Vettel pushing Lewis Hamilton in the drivers' fight.

Despite the rivalry, Wolff reflected his fondness for Monza and the Italian Grand Prix declaring the partisan crowds as 'fair'.

"Ferrari is a formidable brand and with a great bunch of people that work there with patience," Wolff added.

"Heading to Monza, with the Tifosi, there isn't a better feeling going into a racetrack, and also, the fairness that I have always experienced there."
