Ferrari, who seemed to have a faster car for the better part of the 2018 season, struggled at the Sochi Autodrom in Russia.

It wasn't only qualifying, the Prancing Horse was at least half-a-second slower than the Silver Arrows during practice, as well. Ferrari and Mercedes introduced new aerodynamic packages to their cars, but from qualifying, it is clear that the German team has an advantage over Ferrari.

Sebastian Vettel was 0.556 seconds slower than Hamilton, while his teammate Raikkonen was 0.850 seconds slower than the championship leader.
