Formula 1 2020: Ferrari hurting after both drivers fail to qualify inside top 10 at Italian GP since 1984
FirstpostAfter their pointless flop at the Belgian Grand Prix last Sunday, this was another embarrassment for the ‘scarlet scuderia’, but little surprise to their drivers. Monza: Ferrari’s worst fears were realised on Saturday when they failed to qualify at least one car in the top ten on home soil for the Italian Grand Prix for the first time since 1984. Vettel’s Q1 exit represented another low for the team as he became the first Ferrari driver to start an Italian Grand Prix outside the top 15 since 1966, when Giancarlo Baghetti qualified 16th. “It’s like this — it’s tough because once you do a good lap and you do P13, it doesn’t feel good, but for now it’s like this and I need to extract the maximum out of the car in the situation we are in and that’s what I try to do.” The Monegasque driver said he hoped for some improvement ahead of next weekend’s Tuscany Grand Prix where Ferrari celebrate their 1,000th F1 championship race entry.
