Ferrari pessimistic: “Not competitive”

The boss of four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel sees the Scuderia at a clear disadvantage compared to series winner Mercedes after a series of mistakes and disappointments in the seventh round of the season in Montreal. Binotto became surprisingly clear. “We know that we are not competitive enough at the moment,” said the 49-year-old: “In the foreseeable future we have no options for making changes to the car that would have a decisive impact on our problems.” We are still traveling with the goal in mind Canada to achieve a best performance and leave the mistakes of the past races behind them.

Since the start of the season, Ferrari has been struggling with performance problems, but also repeated negligence on the part of its strategists. Most recently, tactical errors in qualifying in Monaco dashed Charles Leclerc's hopes of a home win early on. Vettel achieved his best result of the season to date with second place in the Principality, but primarily benefited from mistakes made by the competition. On the technical side, Ferrari is particularly struggling with tire management and performance in slow corners. Vettel, who drove from pole to his second Canadian success after 2013 last year, is still fighting. “I will do my best for a good result,” he said.

Before the Canadian Grand Prix, World Championship leader and defending champion Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes is already 55 points ahead of Vettel, who is third in the classification. The two Silver Arrows of Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas shared the victories in the first six races between them.
