F1 | Mercedes, Lauda: “Ferrari had the wrong set-up in Monza”

In the home race in Monza, held last Sunday, Ferrari paid the price against Mercedes.

The first SF70-H to reach the finish line was that of Sebastian Vettel, which came in third, a good 36" behind Lewis Hamilton's W08 Hybrid, winner of the race, who was unable to do anything but limit the damage in the face of the excessive power of the Star shown on the fast Brianza track. . While Kimi Raikkonen's Red did not go beyond fifth place, also overtaken by Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull.

On the difficulties encountered by Ferrari, Niki Lauda expressed his point of view: “Marchionne told me he wasn't happy with the setup – declared the Austrian in an interview with the newspaper Kronen Zeitung - I think they made a mistake, because under normal circumstances we would never have escaped like that. The normal difference between Mercedes and Ferrari is one or two tenths per lap. This time the gap has doubled".
