A weekend in which Ferrari very well could have finished 1-2 turned into a horror show.
Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has said that the team are already looking forward after a disappointing Chinese Grand Prix.
Sebastian Vettel finished eighth after contact with Max Verstappen while teammate Kimi Raikkonen did make the podium after a poor strategy given to him by his team.
"Today’s result was definitely not the one we were aiming for, given that we were starting from the front row.
"Our race pace wasn’t bad, but this was a Grand Prix in which the many variables made the difference.

"Kimi made it to the podium and Sebastian limited the damage in a car which, after the collision, was not in the best of conditions for a fight.
"Now it’s important for us to maintain concentration and determination, already thinking about the next race in Baku."
