Only three races of the 2016 Formula One season have been completed, but it seems Ferrari are already beginning to panic.

After witnessing Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen run into each other at the beginning of the recent Chinese Grand Prix, Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne told Sky Sports' James Galloway how the "clock is on" for the team to return to winning ways.

Despite challenging Mercedes in Australia, Bahrain and China, Ferrari are without a victory since September 2015, and Vettel is already some distance from the summit of the drivers' standings.

And in response to their slow start, the Prancing Horse are reportedly set to fast-track an engine upgrade to this weekend's Russian GP in a move that could make or break their campaign.

The challenge facing Vettel and Raikkonen at the Sochi Autodrom, of course, is to end Nico Rosberg's streak of six consecutive victories, which began at last year's Mexican GP.

Rosberg has already established a 36-point lead over team-mate Lewis Hamilton, and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has suggested the German is on course to earn a new contract beyond 2016.

The championship leader has undoubtedly benefited from plenty of luck in the early stages of this season, but one driver who has suffered lots of misfortune is Esteban Gutierrez, who has suffered several reliability niggles upon his return to the grid with Haas.

While the results have been hard to come by thus far, the Mexican has explained why he is now a better driver after spending 2015 on the sidelines.

Gutierrez's car problems have frustrated Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, who believes new teams should be allowed to conduct more testing than their more established competitors.

Closing this week's roundup is Pat Symonds, who has explained why Williams may gain an advantage by helping Pirelli's preparations for the 2017 regulation changes.
