Ralf Schumacher dubbed Ferrari the "problem child" of the Formula 1 world as he suggested the team needs to "forget about this season".
The Italians were the closest challengers to Red Bull last year having created a car which was, in the first half of the season at least, on par in terms of performance. But they fell away in the second half of the year after an FIA rule change hampered their progress.
With expectations always so high, Ferrari were planning to be in a title fight again this year. All the noises coming out of Maranello over the winter indicated they were very confident in their latest machine.
