Why Monza is a big test of Vettel's bold claim

Ferrari caused Mercedes a lot more problems than expected a week ago at Spa, leading to some bullish claims from Sebastian Vettel. But Monza is going to be an even bigger test of that 'big step'

"We were on average a second off, or nearly a second off, in Silverstone so it's a big step. I'm very, very happy. I think we are on the right track and I don't think we have a circuit we should fear, going from now."

This is how Sebastian Vettel summed up Ferrari's Belgian Grand Prix, where it surprised even itself with how strongly it carried the fight to Mercedes on a track that ordinarily shouldn't have suited it.
