In the 2016 season, Ferrari fielded drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. The team finished third in the constructors' championship behind Mercedes and Red Bull. The season started with promise, with Vettel and Raikkonen finishing second and third, respectively, in the opening race in Australia. However, the team struggled to maintain this form throughout the year. Vettel secured three more podium finishes during the season, including a win in Malaysia, while Raikkonen managed only one podium, finishing third in Bahrain. Ferrari's lack of consistency was highlighted by their performance at the Italian Grand Prix, where they struggled to match the pace of Mercedes and Red Bull, and failed to finish on the podium. This led to criticism from the Italian media and fans, who expected more from the team on home soil. Despite the disappointment, Ferrari continued to develop their car throughout the season, with notable improvements in the second half of the year. Vettel secured a second place finish in Singapore, and another win in Malaysia, while Raikkonen finished on the podium in Mexico and Brazil. Overall, Ferrari's 2016 season was a mixed bag, with flashes of brilliance, but ultimately falling short of their expectations.
