Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari start the weekend of the British Grand Prix with problems. Due to a problem with the intercooler, the German can cancel the whole first free practice session.

Problems at Ferrari

The engine cover of the Ferrari SF1000 was open all morning and the mechanics had been working hard for a long time. Now the team announces that due to a problem with the intercooler Vettel it will not be in action during the first Free Practice.

Lewis Hamilton had already had a new MGU-K put in his car earlier in the day and is therefore on edge for a penalty. When the British driver gets his third MGU-K in his Mercedes this season, he will be penalized.
