You’d rather have handling issues to hang your hopes on. “To compound that Leclerc and Vettel report the car to be reasonably well balanced, and there’s nothing worse than a racing car which feels ok but is slow. “They have clearly lost a significant amount of power since the FIA clamped down in a few areas, and their chassis and aero are not yet fast enough either. “This is a truly miserable time for the Prancing Horse team,” Brundle said in his post-Styrian Grand Prix column for Sky Sports F1.
