Ferrari fans were left devastated after both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc were forced to retire at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.

Sainz suffered an early DNF due to a hydraulic failure on lap nine, leaving Leclerc the only Ferrari left to battle Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

Leclerc, however, lasted just 11 further laps before a blown engine saw his own race end early.

The retirements bring Ferrari's DNF count up to five for the season so far, with many Scuderia fans believing the team has thrown away any chance of competing for this year's constructors' championship.

3 major screw-ups in a row. I'm done, man. This is absurd. We have bottled this championship.

Liquidate @ScuderiaFerrari

As it stands, Max leads Charles by 35 points in the WDC.

Perez moves up to P2, and leads Charles by 12 points.

Red Bull lead Ferrari by 80 points in the WCC. Eighty.

Eight. Zero.

As Gasly gets past Ricciardo, it’s heartbreak once again for Leclerc.

This just isn’t good enough from Ferrari. Whatever has gone wrong, reliability is killing their title challenge. #AzerbaijanGP ?? pic.twitter.com/UKogLsLdDX
