Sebastian Vettel: The relentless balance of Ferrari 2019

Ferrari by no means manages to win the title. Instead of beating Mercedes, the Italians had to drive to Hungary on Red Bullom. Sebastian Vettel pulled a relentless balance sheet for the first half of the season.

Some rules still apply today: Even if numbers may not say everything, they may not lie. A look at the table explains that it will Ferrari also missed the set goal this year and that is the title of champion. Unless a miracle happens that motorsport has yet to experience. Otherwise you can Mercedes he already puts the champagne in the cold, he can do the same Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari, who scored 288 points by the summer break, must watch out for Red Bull, which is combined with Max Verstappn in exceptional form.

Also, a look at the racing table for Ferrari is no better. Lewis Hamilton sovereignly leads (250 points) and are far behind him Valtteri Bottas (188) in Max Verstappen (181). The first racer Ferrari it’s only in fourth place and that’s it Sebastian Vettel, who scored 156 points. His teammate Charles Leclerc is fifth (132 points).  

On the planes, the SF90 is very fast, but there are problems when cornering

Sebastian Vettel stated at an early stage in the summer: "Future races will decide. If we want to achieve a turnaround, then it won’t be enough to start winning races, we need to dominate and overtake Mercedes."

Na Hungaroring Sebastian Vettel drew a relentless interim balance sheet: “We are very far from our goals. We produce the entire lag in the corners. We are very fast on the planes and if we could take some of that to gain more speed in corners, then we love the will. For the race in Hungary, we again had minor improvements on the race car, but these are not enough to get you to the top."

Spa and Monza could provide joy at Ferrari, but that doesn’t fix the problem

Hag added: “The next two tracks in Spa and Monza suit us, but we don't just want to win certain types of tracks, our ambition is to take control of all the races. And you can't talk about it at the moment."

"We are simply not where we would like to be, neither in terms of points nor in terms of speed. We understood the problem and are working hard on it, as there is no lack of knowledge at Ferrari. We need to keep our cool, do our homework thoroughly and make up for it as much as possible,”Concludes Sebastian Vettel.
