Ask Tim: Where does "embarrassed" Ferrari go from here?
Following an attritional start to the Formula 1 season in Austria, Autosport's technical expert weighs in on Ferrari's poor start to the season, the sensor problems that hampered Mercedes and the continued brake problems for Haas

Where to start! Sebastian Vettel said his Ferrari felt "unrecognisable" during the Austrian Grand Prix, but I don't think that the car handling is bad. Clearly, its struggles are down to the whole approach to the aerodynamics, added to the fact it has obviously lost a bit of engine performance from last year through its skulduggery...
Mattia Binotto has admitted that Ferrari has taken the wrong philosophy on its aero packaging with some correlation problems from the design office to the track and, as a result, it is going to bring a completely different car to Budapest. There's such a fine line between getting it right and not, and obviously Ferrari has got it wrong. It's the little details that make all the difference, as we've seen with Mercedes bringing a raft of changes to Austria when it already had a quick car in testing.
