F1 2017: 5 talking points from the rivetting Malaysian Grand Prix

#2 Another lacklustre weekend for Ferrari

Ferrari engineers working on Kimi Raikkonen's car at the grid

Ferrari could be happy with the way Vettel was able to salvage the most points possible or should they distraught with themselves that they were in that spot in the first place? Not to mention, the disaster with Kimi Raikkonen's car, who faced a similar to engine related issue that Vettel did on Saturday.

That problem forced Raikkonen to register his first DNS (Did Not Start) since the US Grand Prix in 2005. Being a top contender on the grid, Ferrari should have seen this problem coming and got a fix on it. If it was an unforeseen and unpredictable problem that hit Vettel during Qualifying, it's a shame that a similar problem forced them to pull their other car out of the race.

Dealing with problems aside, the biggest reason the team should be disappointed is that Malaysia and Singapore as well were tracks that favoured their car setup. And instead of taking advantage of that, they've tripped over their own toes both times.
