Charles Leclerc finished only seventh after his race was compromised by a wheel gun issue in a pitstop and a five-second penalty for pitlane speeding, while his team-mate Carlos Sainz could only recover to eighth after a disappointing qualifying session saw him start 11th.
The result followed another tough race at Silverstone where Ferrari finished ninth and 10th as McLaren’s improved form and a resurgent Mercedes pushed the Italian squad down the order.
