In the magazine: Ferrari under fire

After so spectacularly throwing away the Formula 1 world title at last year's Abu Dhabi finale, Ferrari has been a pale imitation of its former self in 2011. This week's AUTOSPORT magazine gets to the heart of the Scuderia's problems

Ferrari is not the winning machine it once was, and this week AUTOSPORT grand prix editor Mark Hughes analyses why.

The Jean Todt/Ross Brawn/Rory Byrne/Michael Schumacher dream team has long disbanded and Formula 1's most successful constructor is still feeling it. What can be done to return the Scuderia to the glory days? New head of race engineering Pat Fry, a man who spent 18 years at deadly rival McLaren, could just be the man to help turn things around. Remember: you read it here first.
