Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen seemed pretty pleased to finish a distant third and fourth in the Italian Grand Prix, which is surprising given the events of this Monza weekend showcased starkly just how far Mercedes' rivals still have to travel before they can make a real race of Formula 1 again.
Carrying the fight to Mercedes was the great expectation within the corridors of Maranello for this season, but things haven't panned out as hoped.
The Scuderia took a radical approach with conception of the SF16-H, but the car has not been as reliable as hoped, it's not been as fast as hoped, and it has not developed as well as hoped either.
