That's what I was thinking too.
As I said before, it seems like Ferrari have, in recent years, been going all-out to win the drivers title but it seems like next year they'll be shooting for the constructors rather than, necessarily, the drivers title.
I think most people would agree that the drivers title has more prestige (to the general public, at least) than the constructors' but I guess Ferrari have gotten to the point where they'd just rather win something rather than nothing.
