Ferrari's Mercedes-inspired upgrades

Ferrari's quest to compete with Mercedes has led it to learning technical lessons from its Formula 1 rival. CRAIG SCARBOROUGH explains in his latest video, and also takes a look at the B-spec Force India

Ferrari endured a tough British Grand Prix weekend, where it lacked dry-weather pace and only managed to salvage a podium finish thanks to an inspired strategy call from Sebastian Vettel when the rain hit.
