The small mistakes at Ferrari that are having big consequences

BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Another race weekend, another missed opportunity for Ferrari. This one may not have been the open goal missed in Bahrain, but on pure pace Ferrari had the potential to win in Baku and once again it came up short.

A series of interwoven errors, mainly on Saturday, were to blame, but make no mistake, Ferrari threw away an opportunity to peg Mercedes back and with it the gaps in both championships are widening at an alarming rate.

Rewind to the hour before qualifying on Saturday and you would have been hard pressed to find anyone in the paddock willing to bet on a fourth Mercedes one-two victory on Sunday.
