In 2013, Ferrari had a stronger start to the season with Fernando Alonso leading the championship early on, despite the F138 struggling for qualifying pace. Alonso won in China and Spain, but a mid-season tyre revision hurt the team's form, dropping them to third overall behind Red Bull Racing and Mercedes. Felipe Massa struggled to match his teammate's pace and finished the season seventh in the drivers' standings. The team finished second in the constructors' championship, but was still far behind Red Bull Racing.
