Brawn: "Ferrari needs to improve this situation very quickly"

Ferrari has a lot of work to do after the disappointing Austrian Grand Prix. Luckily Charles Leclerc managed to drive his SF1000 to second place, but otherwise the performance of the car itself was disappointing.

"It was clear Ferrari were in a difficult position after qualifying, their performance by their own admission was disappointing", says Ross Brawn in his column on the official Formula 1 site.

"On Sunday, Charles showed what a talented driver he is, managing his chances wisely to take an opportunistic second place. It is in these difficult races where the determination and talent of a very special drivers come through", Brawn praised.

"But Ferrari have got to quickly improve the situation otherwise it they face a very difficult season. They have plans to improve the car for Hungary, which is encouraging, but the start of the year is tougher than they anticipated", says the Formula 1 manager.

Brawn thinks that the bad performance of Sebastian Vettel has to do with the noisy winter in which the German driver was told that he won't have a seat at Ferrari in 2021.
