Scuderia Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto has said that his team still have work to do over the summer break as they look to try and avoid a full season without a victory.

The Italians have lagged behind Mercedes all season and in recent times the Red Bull of Max Verstappen, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc miles off the pace during Sunday's race in Hungary.

Mercedes now have an enormous 150 point lead over Ferrari, who in turn are just 44 ahead of Red Bull, and Binotto knows that there is no time for the team to rest.

According to GPupdate.net, Binotto said: "There is still a lot of work to be done before we start the summer break.

"It is important for us to stop and take a break. We put a lot of energy into the first phase of the season, after the winter tests and Australia when we realised that we were lagging behind our main rivals.

"All departments in the factory and the racing team used up a lot of energy, right time for a vacation."
