Wolff, Brawn give vote of confidence to out-of-form Vettel

Sebastian Vettel has been given a vote of confidence by two of the most influential people in the Formula One paddock, Toto Wolff and Ross Brawn.

Vettel has not won a Formula One race for over a year and has made a string of high-profile errors since crashing out of the lead at last season's German Grand Prix. He has not led the world championship since that race.

Making matters worse for the four-time world champion is that young Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc has made a crucial breakthrough, recording his first victory at the Belgian Grand Prix seven days before claiming Ferrari's first Italian Grand Prix win since 2010.
