The Tuscan Grand Prix marked the occasion of a 1000th Grand Prix race for Scuderia Ferrari. However, their performance was anything but special. In a race marred by several crashes and two red flags, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel only managed to bag a total of 5 points between the two of them.
Ferrari CEO, Louis Camilleri, was among the 2800 spectators who had come to Mugello to watch the race. After the event, Camilleri was quick to acknowledge that his team was stuck in a rut.
He said, “Listen, we are in a hole now, and we know we are in a hole. It’s a confluence of factors and anything I say will come across as excuses. And we’re not into excuses.

However, with half the campaign done and dusted, their hopes are not very high.
