Mika Hakkinen says Monza was a failure of leadership for Ferrari

Former world champion Mika Hakkinen has criticised Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari for being behind Lewis Hamilton in the title race despite having what he feels is the superior race car.

Hamilton upset Ferrari at its home race, passing both Vettel and polesitter Kimi Raikkonen to claim victory. His plight was helped by Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas holding Raikkonen up at a crucial moment in the race.
