Ferrari appeared at the start of a Grand Prix in Formula 1 for the thousandth time last Sunday. An incredibly impressive statistic, but unfortunately for the team the party was overshadowed by the heavily disappointing performance of the SF1000.
Because even at Mugello, the test circuit of Ferrari itself, the scarlet red cars did not manage to make a fist. Charles Leclerc at first seemed to be a surprise when he qualified in fifth place. The Monegask then got off to an excellent start, after which he even finished third. However, it did not take long before the Ferrari leader was driven past left and right. In the end he crossed the line eighth, with a teammate Sebastian Vettel on the tenth spot. Both in the points, but with the fact that no fewer than eight cars had retired.

The Gazzetta dello Sport
As usual, the Italian media does not mince words: “While Ferrari tries to celebrate its glorious past, dominates Mercedes the race on the circuit of the Scuderia,” writes The Gazetta dello Sport. “Any kind of celebration is instantly obliterated by the bitterness of this catastrophic 2020,” said Italy’s largest newspaper.
Corriere dello Sport
“Again a shame for Ferrari,” the Corriere dello Sport off. “And this time on the home circuit in Mugello. The Scuderia is falling further and further behind in the world championship. It will take a long time to fix this. At the moment there are no prospects for the future. ”
Corriere della Sera
Also the Corriere della Sera has few good words for Ferrari: “While the other teams are growing, Ferrari is sinking deeper and deeper into an unprecedented crisis. Leclerc had to surrender and raise the white flag for the attacks of Renault, McLaren in Racing Point. A sporty drama for a highly motivated driver. ”
