Ferrari had a much improved season relative to its disastrous 2020 campaign with the SF1000, with Leclerc achieving 2 pole positions in Monaco and Azerbaijan. The improvement in performance from the SF21 helped Ferrari to secure 3rd in the constructors standings, compared to the disappointing 6th in 2020. Despite this improvement, Ferrari would end the season winless, and for the first time since 1992 and 1993, winless in consecutive seasons. The SF21 came closest to victory at the British Grand Prix, where Leclerc was 2 laps away from taking the win before being overtaken by Lewis Hamilton at Copse corner on lap 50 of 52.
