Ferrari's season seems to be getting worse. Anyone who thought that the bottom had been reached at Spa-Francorchamps was wrong because the Grand Prix of Italy was more troublesome. Painful, certainly, but then Ferrari is still lucky that it is such a strange year.

The fans are not physically present to express their dissatisfaction and they would undoubtedly have made themselves heard in Monza. Although the bleak weekend still hurts Sebastian Vettel, he is happy that the team does not have to go through that.

Mugello must be doing better

"Tough times are part of life and part of sports but at the moment I think it’s not fair to all the guys that put so much effort in, that we are that bad. But on the other hand, it’s a testimony of where we stand and it’s poor obviously where we are, especially here for our home race – I think it’s probably a blessing that there’s nobody in the stands," says Vettel according to Crash.net.

In these difficult times, Vettel tries to look a positively at the weekend in Mugello, the anniversary race for Ferrari. It is almost impossible to say that it is worse than Monza. “I hope in Mugello we’re in a little bit of a better place but that doesn’t mean we’re fighting for the podium."
