The fact that Ferrari are in the middle of a poor run of form is no longer new news, but the team in Belgium seems to be heading for a new low. During Friday's free practice sessions, both drivers were a long way from the top ten and even had to put up with both Alfa Romeo's in front of them.

Charles Leclerc sounded resigned about his chances after FP2 this weekend. "It's probably a surprise to be so far back, especially in FP2. We've tried quite a lot of things. At the beginning, I tried something quite aggressive in downforce levels, but it didn't really work out. We came back on that."

Leclerc doesn't see it turning around this weekend

"We are just lacking pace at the moment. We need to work hard to catch back, but I don't expect miracles for this weekend. It's doesn't feel good, and it's sad to see Ferrari so far down," Leclerc said to Motorsport.com and others.

According to Leclerc, the possibility of rain on Saturday is not going to help either. "We are struggling quite a lot with the balance this weekend. Normally in the rain, the balance only gets worse, and the issues you have in the dry are worse in the rain."
