This incident took place as Sebastian Vettel checked to see if everything was clear in the machine. A few hours earlier, he had to sit out for the entire FP1 session owing to a problem with his Scuderia Ferrari F1 car.
Apparently, there was an issue with the car’s intercooler and he only managed two laps during the entire session.
Things got worse in FP2 because he barely got any running in, as the problems persisted. This time, he felt that it was all hands on deck to get to the bottom of the problems.

Aside from the hiccups, Sebastian Vettel assured that Ferrari has a lot to take away from the two disrupted sessions. He admitted that the brake trouble made it difficult to get a feel of the car on the light fuel loads.
To make matters worse for Ferrari, even Charles Leclerc reported that he was struggling with the heavy fuel loads.
