2020 is a terrible year for Ferrari, with performances so far that fans are not particularly happy with. According to Toto Wolff, the team as a whole hasn't forgotten how to build a fast car, but it's because of certain people within Ferrari.
There is an anniversary coming up for Ferrari and next week Formula 1 will also leave for Monza, the home base of the team. Given Ferrari's performance so far at Spa-Francorchamps, a lot of people fear for the result in Italy. Especially on the straights, the SF1000 is terribly slow.
Toto Wolff sees a major competitor disappear, which he is not happy with. "Ferrari is an iconic brand and they should be racing at the front. It's not good for Formula 1, it's not good for the competition for the top teams and I sympathise with all Tifosi and the Ferrari employees with their lack of speed", the team boss told the press in Belgium, including The Race.

"You have to ask yourself where the priorities have been set recently and where the lack of speed is coming from. But none of the fans and the people at Ferrari deserve this result. I don't really want to talk about the priorities at 'Ferrari', because that drags everybody at Ferrari into this", explains the Austrian.
According to Wolff the problem probably doesn't come from the whole team. "It may be the decisions that have been made within the team by certain members". Whether those accusations are directed at team boss Mattia Binotto or the Ferrari board, Wolff won't say.
