The Ferrari team leaves Belgium without fresh points in the World Championship, the Italians, who play their first home game in seven days in the high-speed temple of Monza, finished a difficult weekend in 13 (Sebastian Vettel) and 14 (Charles Leclerc). Of course, this does not correspond to the Scuderia’s self-image, which is only two points ahead of Renault’s official team, sixth in the team standings.
“We have to work hard and there is a lot we can learn from this weekend,” Vettel said after the work was done. The Heppenheimer is not sure if it was only because of the characteristics of the track that his company car was so slow: “On the one hand, Spa is one of those tracks where power is more important, and this year we also had problems with it is natural to expect to be left behind. On the other hand, we were partly behind the cars that we had been able to beat in terms of speed in recent weekends, especially on Sunday, that is, the drivers from Haas and Alfa Romeo. “
“I hope it’s down the road,” Vettel added openly, as always, and demanded: “We have to stick together and not get frustrated, because that doesn’t help. There are two very important races on the schedule for the team for the next two weeks, and that’s what we’re focusing on. “
The 53-time GP winner also immediately warned: “But you have to be realistic and you can’t expect miracles. The package is what it is, we are not as strong as we would like. But we have to remain optimistic and see the good, even if there isn’t much good currently. “
And Vettel reported: “I tried a lot in the race, even driving. I tried to avoid car problems, but we weren’t fast enough. And in this case it is difficult to find a few tenths perhaps, so miracles cannot be performed. But it was difficult to drive at a reasonable pace. “
