Ferrari ambassador Marc Gene has insisted the idea of attacking the championship is now “inevitable” for the famous Maranello team, even if team boss Frederic Vasseur would prefer it not to be.

With Red Bull struggling on the narrow, twisting streets of Monte Carlo, where Max Verstappen finished sixth, the ranks of drivers and constructors have become much closer as the campaign progresses to Canada.
