How is the situation at Scuderia Ferrari?
In a nutshell… things are very dire at the Italian marquee’s camp. The team has been hopelessly off pace, and Spa Francorchamps was an excellent indication for the same.

Truthfully, it is extremely awkward for the factory team to be slower than the customer team.
With Monza next on the calendar, the Ferrari team may be dreading a race in their backyard, as their top speed deficit stands to be exposed. To make matters worse, Monza will be followed by Mugello, and later in the season, the paddock heads to Imola.
Having one home race is hard enough with pressure on the team to perform well on their home soil. However, with three races on Italian soil, the team has practically taken Atlas’ place holding up the sky.
