With Max Verstappen and Red Bull pulling further away at the top of the standings Ferrari might be praying for a miracle.
Until now the Italian team have kept the leaders honest, not allowing them to pull too far away despite their own reliability issues. But the outlook feels a lot different in the wake of a disastrous weekend for Ferrari at the French Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc crashed while leading the race, allowing Verstappen to move 25 points further clear at the top of the table. And Carlos Sainz could manage only fifth after starting from the back and apparently being hampered by a bizarre pit call from his team.
