Why Vettel's season is going down the pan
Lewis Hamilton's Italian Grand Prix win was payback for Ferrari winning at Silverstone. But although Mercedes' victory was perfectly executed, the race will be remembered for yet another mistake by Sebastian Vettel
Ferrari won at Silverstone, home track of the Mercedes team, and publicly delighted in the fact. But Mercedes paid that back by winning at Monza - Ferrari's back yard.
Ferrari was that little bit faster than the Mercedes, and on home turf it occupied the front row, which meant the tifosi came in their droves on Sunday. Unfortunately, they didn't all have reason to stay until the chequered flag.
