BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Sebastian Vettel says an immediate return to racing is exactly what Ferrari needed after the death of former chairman Sergio Marchionne this week.
On Wednesday it was confirmed Marchionne, who stepped down from his role last weekend due to ill health, had passed away aged 66. This week Ferrari has its hospitality flags draped at half-mast, with all team members wearing commemorative armbands. It has also placed a black stripe along the top of the cockpit.
The team had cancelled all its media commitments up until the end of Friday practice, where its drivers appeared in the Hungaroring TV pen.
