Scuderia Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc admitted that they are expecting to endure a tough weekend at Silverstone, where the next two races will take place. The Italian side has struggled since the start of the season and currently sits fifth in the constructors’ championship.
Charles Leclerc scored a surprise podium result amid the chaos of the season-opening grand prix, however it didn’t come close to securing another top-three finish in the following two races.
Scuderia Ferrari has consistently asserted that any fixes would not be done overnight, and both of its drivers are not expecting to be competitive this weekend.
Speaking to Sky F1 at Silverstone, Sebastian Vettel explained: “It’s a shame there’s no crowd, the memories I have from this place, I always link to the crowd. It’s weird this year. It’s great to drive here at Silverstone, but it’s not going to be the same, let’s be honest. For us, the forecast is not good. On paper the track doesn’t favour us but maybe we can surprise and let’s see what we can do.” – he added.
Charles Leclerc backed up Sebastian Vettel’s comments by adding: “This year on paper it doesn’t look like a strong track for us. But I want to be optimistic and I like to be optimistic so, I’ll give it all and we’ll see where we’ll be at. But realistically, I think it’s going to be difficult.” – the Monegasque driver concluded ahead of the 2020 British Grand Prix.
