Ferrari have admitted they still need to figure out why they have lost pace compared to Red Bull as Max Verstappen continues to establish his dominance of this season.
While Mercedes were off the pace from the start, Ferrari and Red Bull seemed to be fairly evenly matched in the early weeks of the campaign. They began with a one-two finish in Bahrain and won two of the first three races while Verstappen suffered from early-season reliability niggles.
But Red Bull resolved those problems swiftly, and then it was the turn of the Italians to suffer setbacks. But Ferrari have failed to get to grips with engine reliability problems and disastrous strategy decisions, allowing their rivals to open an almost unassailable lead at the top of both championships.
