HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc had no doubt the team let a shot at pole position slip through its fingers after suffering car issues on both cars in qualifying at the German Grand Prix.
Ferrari appeared well placed to take the fight to Mercedes on Saturday afternoon, having not suffered as badly in the cooler conditions as many had expected. Leclerc had topped the final practice session of the week and the red cars looked likely to set up a thrilling battle for the front spot on the grid -- however, it wasn't to be.
