IT is incredible to think that Ferrari are heading into this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza in an even worse position than they were 12 months ago.
In December they replaced long-serving employee Mattia Binotto as team principal with Fred Vasseur.
But it is clear that any hopes of the Frenchman bringing an immediate upturn in results have been firmly extinguished.
In fact, it is difficult to see what improvements – if any at all – have been made since Vasseur was installed as the boss of F1’s most famous team.
Reliability is still a problem. Aerodynamically the car is unpredictable. Operationally, the mistakes are laughable and consequently the team’s drivers are shot of confidence.
