Marchionne's death affected Ferrari says Vettel

Sebastian Vettel says Sergio Marchionne's passing was a "big loss" for Ferrari and affected their 2018 Formula 1 season. The former Scuderia CEO died days before the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After 10 rounds, Ferrari was ahead in the constructor's championship and looked to be giving Mercedes a proper challenge. During race weekends surrounding the news, Ferrari paid tribute to Marchionne.

"The passing of our chairman, Mr Marchionne obviously had an impact and was tough," Vettel said in an interview on Crash.

Mercedes wrapped up the title win with a race to spare and ultimately finishing way ahead of their rivals.
