F1 | Japanese GP, Ferrari in difficulty in the first sector: Kimi Raikkonen's mistake during this morning's FP3 [VIDEO]

Ferrari's difficulties continue on the Suzuka track. In fact, despite the changes implemented during the night, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were unable to keep up with the Mercedes during today's sessions, struggling quite a bit in terms of competitiveness in the first sector of the Japanese track.

The Red, as demonstrated by the Finn's off-piste during this morning's free practice, is unable to be quick and precise in changing the direction of the initial Ss, a factor that causes the drivers to lose between two and four tenths in the direct comparison with Mercedes.

A difficult situation that will force the Cavallino men into a comeback race, especially after the choice to use intermediate compounds during Q3 (Vettel will start ninth. Ed.).
