Humiliated on home soil, Ferrari departed the Italian Grand Prix licking their wounds but looking ahead to next weekend’s party to celebrate a team and Formula One landmark.
Team chief Mattia Binotto described Ferrari’s double-retirement in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix — Sebastian Vettel withdrew and Charles Leclerc crashed — as “the worst of days.”
“It’s the worst possible conclusion to a difficult weekend,” said Binotto. “Not finishing the race it’s even worse and not performing, especially with Seb, which was a reliability issue on the car, so I think it’s time to look forward.”
