Brawn predicts 'long road ahead' for out-of-form Ferrari

Formula One's motor racing boss Ross Brawn has warned Ferrari there is no quick fix to the current situation it finds itself in.

Ferrari suffered a double race retirement at the Styrian Grand Prix after its drivers, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel, collided on the first lap. Leclerc took full responsibility for Sunday's clash, which robbed Ferrari the chance to analyse car upgrades it had fast-tracked to the second race.

Ferrari appears set for its most difficult season of the modern era. Despite Leclerc's surprise podium at the Austrian Grand Prix, F1's opening double header confirmed fears Ferrari has taken a significant step back with its 2020 car.
