In particular, the pressure increased after the average performance of the Reds on Hungaroring, and the fact that the Reds did not manage to win any of this year's twelve races, even though Sebastian Vettel in Montreal he crossed the finish line first (but was later penalized with a time surcharge, causing him to slip into second place).
Race for Hungarian GP, the last before the summer break, despite Vettl's third place was not exactly pleasant for Ferrari, as both race cars for Lewis Hamilton trailed by more than a minute, which, according to Brown, is far too much for a team looking to fight for the top spot.

"We knew that the track was not exactly painted on Ferrari's skin, but still no one thought that the difference would be so big, ” commented after the race Brown, one of the most deserving of Schumacher 's dominance at the beginning of the millennium. Especially in the third sector, where the vacuum depends the most, Ferraris are behind Hamilton in Mercedes and Verstappn in Red Bullu significantly lagged behind. "That's why the break seems to be coming at the right time for Ferrari so they can improve things and come back more competitive," Brawn thinks.
"Ferrari urgently needs a victory - not because of the championship, which has already been lost to the Reds in the driving and construction championships, but to raise morale and to relieve the pressure of fans and the Italian public," thinking about the Ferrari crisis was concluded by Brawn, who also touched on the duel between Lewis and Max.
Ross Brawn is excited about the final part of the race, which was champions Lewis Hamilton, and at the same time about the duel they showed with the young Dutchman.
"In terms of strategy, Mercedes was able to help themselves significantly with an unexpected stop for Valtteria Bottas", says Brawn, adding: "That way, they were able to see how much tire they could handle and adjust the tactics, which turned out to be winning in the end."
