Ferrari didn't really impress during the Dutch Grand Prix. While Charles Leclerc finished in fifth place, Carlos Sainz was only seventh.
For Leclerc, it's still hard to understand what was the reason for his lacklustre performance. "We are going to look at everything, including the set-up and the balance," he told Motorsport.com. "At the moment we are groping in the dark. But I don't think it has anything to do with, for example, Carlos' crash on Saturday."

GP of Italy coming up

However, a great week awaits the Italian stable as this weekend's Formula 1 teams race at Monza. It is an ideal opportunity for Ferrari to get rid of the disappointment and focus on the points again.
Leclerc does hope for a similar support as Max Verstappen received at Zandvoort. "Monza is always special for the drivers and teams. Especially for us, it's our home race. It will be difficult to repeat the success of 2019, but the support of the crowd will certainly give a great feeling. I hope for a similar enthusiasm as we saw this weekend for Max."
