Meanwhile, former F1 driver Marc Surer was reported stating that in his view, Ferrari have given up on Vettel.

Surer believes that Vettel knows how to win races and bring trophies home. However, he believes that Ferrari seems to be more focused on Charles Leclerc than Sebastian Vettel. In his view, this was because Leclerc gets along much better and is currently the future of the team.
